Pros

Contact with clients in English and Spanish in person and telephonically, directing calls to proper case worker, setting appointments and purging files and sorting data information in proper file order. Working as a team member when required and performing assigned duties with minimum supervision. Co-workers and superviisor very helpful in lending assistance when and where needed Since I have been working at Youth Coop, there has been little turn over in personnel.. Everyone I know of has been employed there for years.. The host agency is called Youth Coop.

Cons

For the length of time I have been working through AARP at Youth Coop,, an agency for finding employment for Cuban and Hatian refugees and persons with approved asylum in the United States, I am unable to state any negative aspects of the company at this time.

Pros

benefits are strong - pension, vacation, sick, caregiving work life balance is generally good

Cons

AARP suffers from a serious toxic work culture, particularly in the IT and Digital Transformation departments. Leadership is atrocious. People leading the 2 key technology functions for the business are incompetent and ego maniacs. Both departments are extremely toxic with burned out employees and contractors. Money gets wasted in the extreme due to these factors. Constant signal switching on projects and priorities. Everyone you work with is unhappy. Bullying and retaliation are common. Avoid these departments in particular, but the whole organization is top heavy, with terrible leadership all around. Still there are some great and talented people, but it's not the norm, and senior leadership is wrought with incompetence and arrogance. The organization flails around endlessly, and blows money with no discipline or rigor to their work and methods. Think someone is juicing the Glassdoor numbers with people saying the place is great. No opportunity for growth. The organization tries to do good work, and does in many ways, but it's so poorly run that it severely hampers its potential.
