Alzheimer's Association Employer Reviews

My job was very exciting and varied daily. I enjoyed my office mates and we served people in a professional manner. The senior management has undergone many changes in the last 3 years and has affected many staff in a challenging way with communication and resolving situations. Expectations were high but attainable. The most enjoyable part was interfacing – more... and helping many people that have been touched by the disease. – less

I had the opportunity to work with many wonderful families and other agencies in the Rochester area!

Very rewarding Job. Love working to help other family overcome there needs. Provides resouces to other to help make dalily living a bit eaisier.

A typical day of work begins with the review of phone messages & email. I have learned that "caregivers" have an overwhelming task of putting their family challenges in order and quite often are unable to successfully complete it alone. The management of the office is flowing with the staff working together to complete their individual work requirements. – more... The toughest part of the job is keeping on top of the "numbers" and the submission of reports to the different financing agencies. The most enjoyable part of the job is making a difference in the lives of people to whom we are giving counsel, whether it be someone who has been diagnosed with some form of dementia or the care giver of a dementia patient. – less

Every day is something different. I have enjoyed being able to come to work everyday knowing that I am helping families that are dealing with the dreadful disease.

Co-workers great hard working, friendly and dedicated to the cause.

The job is located in Dallas, TX. It was a nice job and you met a lot of nice people. Definitely provided a chance to advance in computer skills, HR and database skills.

Worked PT as database manager in a small but very productive office. Co-workers were very dedicated and touched the lives of those effected by Alzheimer's.

A great place to work, gained a lot of knowledge about the organization.

Though I believed in the mission of the Alzheimer's Association, I struggled with some of the follow-through when it came to this organization. I loved interacting with the donors and the volunteers, and most of my co-workers had a great attitude in what we did. I struggled with the lack of organization that arose during times of transitions.

The hardest part of my job is not being allowed to utilize my skills to make a difference in the company.

The most enjoyable part of the job is the stressor free atmosphere which allows productive in the office. – less

Working for the Alzheimer's Association, Georgia Chapter, has been the best career move, both professionally and personally.

A typical day at work involved entering client call logs into the database, filing client call logs, bulk mailing for upcoming events, organizing files to be dead storaged, and organizing the Alzheimer's Association in house library. I learned how to do data entry, how to make labels and bulk mail, and how to get large chunks of work done as efficiently – more... as possible. The management was good, and my coworkers were few, but they were helpful, dependable and hardworking. The hardest part of the job was having to work on my own to problem solve issues, and the most enjoyable was being able to feel accomplished at the end of the day after finishing my tasks. Since this position was volunteer, there was little job security or room for advancement, but I understood this and took it into account when applying. I felt that the work experience benefit far outweighed these cons. Overall, I enjoyed working at Alzheimer's Association. – less
