Pros

Talented and hardworking staff, free group lunch on Fridays, chance to travel to an international convention, early closings before holidays, ideal location in DuPont Circle, accessible to the metro, and passionate members

Cons

Let me be clear: All of these reviews are true. APS is a small organization, so it's not like bigger associations where one department is bad and everywhere else is good. The majority of the staff members are unhappy, unappreciated, overlooked, and fed up. There is one major problem with this organization and it is its leader. I have seen so many good people reprimanded for having a voice, a new idea, or a different viewpoint. The Executive Director rarely budges on her viewpoints. It is her way or the highway and this has caused a lot of good people to walk or get pushed out the door.

Thank you for taking the time to provide comments. APS does indeed have a talented and hardworking staff, and it’s important that we be open to feedback and try to learn from it in order to attract and retain talented colleagues. If you would like to talk about this further, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly. --Aime

Pros

In my 30-year career, APS has been the best place I've ever worked. They listened to the employees when big issues came to light, and made swift changes that have enormously improved the workplace culture. I have never felt so supported and encouraged as an employee as I do here. They do not have cookie cutter expectations for employees, but rather see them as whole people with individual needs and talents.

Cons

None, seriously. I'm very, very happy working here.
