Vantaggi
(((Some))) of the people at the bottom ACTUALLY doing the work while also doing the work of management without being credited/recognized are some of the nicest people you will meet. It's a shame they don't have a work-life balance to look for another job.
Svantaggi
99.9% of the upper management. These individuals who are sadly in charge of decision making are so far removed from reality and engulfed in their own self hubris that associations under their management are suffering. For context, they're a European company that purchased an Association Management company. Shortly after, they started bleeding clients. Their solution was to ignore the problem, fire the people who raised concerns and replace them with their "Friends" to put it mildly. They've become an echo chamber of yes-men. Lack diversity, no advancement opportunities and no future for the US location.
