Pros
Great location. Casual dress code. Wonderful members who are passionate about the industry.
Cons
Where to begin... This place is run like a dictatorship, with the dear leader elevating incompetents to positions of power because of their blind loyalty to him, and willingness to carry out his directives without challenging them. He allows these minions to fire good people without cause, and never once asks why these departments have such high turnover. As a result, as others have mentioned on here, there's a serious climate of fear. The worst part is that for an organization that's built on the idea of learning and development best practices - they implement exactly NONE of them. This place is Exhibit A of what NOT to do when it comes to leadership, employee engagement and professional development. It's only afloat because its members are passionate and dedicated to the industry. ATD exists in spite of itself.
