Pros

Zero. None. Absolutely nothing. Stay far away.

Cons

The most unprofessional workplace ever. Young graduates, do not waste your time here. This place will actually hurt your professional career. Everyone in Boston’s nonprofit community will judge your resume for having AACA experience. It’s not something to be proud of. At AACA I never felt that individual differences were nurtured - anyone could do my job or anyone else's job because my strengths were rarely played upon (though I was hired for them). Information between and within teams was consistently suppressed or spun (God forbid we work as a cohesive team). The company did not add value to my professional life but drained a lot from it. AACA never stood for anything other than profit and the work was not rewarding. It is a joke of an organization with manipulative management. • THE PAY IS NOT A LIVING WAGE, especially for the Boston metro area. • Inability to match staff's interests, education and abilities with job responsibilities. • Inadequacy of vision and inflexibility with diversity of future growth. • Distrust and secrecy between and even within departments run rampant. • Vague promises of increased responsibilities, but dismal return for one's efforts.

Pros

Strong community programs, especially workforce development. Targets underserved populations. Childcare center, on site, is an interesting addition.

Cons

Congested location, but understandable in Chinatown.

Pros

Boss knows nothing about laptop stuffs. If you're good at embellishing things from bad to good orally, she will be 100% satisfied.

Cons

Totally no management. Very chaotic and despressive work enviroment. Everyone is multitasks here. Low pay. Racism. Boss knows nothing about work requirements and what should do.
