Pros
Great salary, good benefits, pension. Depending on your department you may be allowed to telecommute, most managers do allow some flexibility.
Cons
AARP does not respect the humanity of its employees. The relentless focus on the bottom line (aren't you supposed to be an organization with a human wellness mission?) creates a constant atmosphere of stress and tension, and prevents any real sense of togetherness or shared goals. The veneer of caring and compassion is fake. People get fired for trumped up reasons everyday. Don't worry though, they're well paid on the way out so they won't/don't talk. It doesn't have to and shouldn't be that way. Hopefully when the current head leaves that will change.
