Pros

If you’re an aviation enthusiast, what better place to work? Your part of a team that supports a hobby that society has allowed to become antiquated. If you’re a GA devotee, this is the place to support the cause and leave a mark. Plus, AOPA promotes the use of GA aircraft for business travel, and offers a significant amount of funds to encourage your flight proficiency.

Cons

If you’re working at AOPA, it’s about the passion not the paycheck. AOPA is below average for the majority of their pay scales, which is a challenge with respect to the cost of living in MD.

Pros

Good benefits and they pay for your flight training.

Cons

Senior leadership is disconnected from the membership decline problems and offers no solutions to correct membership loss and management problems, but does attend a lot of cocktail parties and get to fly a jet around the country.
