No leadership - The company president, unfortunately, does not want to become involved in the operations of departments or the staff and only focuses on board directives and increasing revenue. This creates power vacuums where department VPs will instruct their staff to do something outside of policy and there is no accountability. Additionally cross-departmental work is challenging because leadership will not either assume or assign authority and instead just insist everyone get along. This makes reaching deliverables and deadlines very difficult for many in the company which bleeds into resentment and a toxic work environment.
Top-heavy - the company has a collection of Vice Presidents, far too many for a company so small. This causes power conflicts, in-fighting, and tons of office politics.
Pay is below average - The pay for leadership roles is very high for the association's revenue and staff size, which makes the pay for non-leadership being below average much more painful. It's as if leadership does not realize staff (or anyone) can see their salaries on publicly posted 990 tax returns from previous years.
You are not safe - AMT will lay you off or terminate you if they feel like it. You can be a great employee but rub leadership the wrong way and you are gone. Additionally, in times of financial trouble, AMT will cut from the bottom rather than remove one of the many VPs.
