Do not work here! - Anonymous employee American Optometric Association Employee Review

If you are considering employment with this association, do yourself a favor and run. I can't comment on the Washington DC office, but I can on the St. Louis office. The St. Louis office is led by a completely incompetent Associate Executive Director. She doesn't have the training or knowledge to lead. She micromanages senior staff to the point of misery. (Which is passed down to the staff.) Morale is incredibly low and most employees have given up and do not respect leadership. It is a toxic and depressing place.
