Arthritis Foundation Employer Reviews

Enjoyed working at the Arthritis Foundation; had very high job satisfaction.

A great place to work and raise a family. I didn't have family in town and they were always very flexible when I needed to work from home because of an illness or doctors appt. Not the place you want to be if you want to advance your career.

Interact with daily with software users and outside partners

The Arthritis Foundation is dedicated to finding a cure with people who have arthritis.

I believe that Non-Profit is one of the most challenging industries. The staff at the Arthritis Foundation are passionate about the Mission. A typical day involves interacting with customers, as well as donors on various levels.

I really enjoy working here because i learn so much, Doctors were great and very kind they really appreciated my hard work. The hardest part was when patients were very ill and i feel really bad for them.

As a volunteer, I had a wide variety of duties including administration, marketing and daily business functions.

A wonderful place for an internship. I am learning so much from my supervisor and am very pleased with this experience.

My work at the Arthritis Foundation includes grant writing, fundraising, and event planning. Before I started at the Arthritis Foundation there was no established grant writing procedure and no current grants being pursed. I created an extensive, easy to use grant writing process that can be used after I leave. In addition to creating the grant writing – more... process and applying for grants, I worked on the largest, most profitable fundraising event of the year, the Jingle Bell Run/Walk. This 2,000 person race required extensive planning four months prior to the event. Due to the limiting nature of nonprofit work I learned to wear many hats and adapt to working on a variety of tasks in a fast-paced environment. – less

Great learning experience at a place that had great co-workers, was professionally ran. This was my first job out of high school and I loved it. I couldn't wait to come in everyday.

It was a pleasure working with people who had arthritis and letting them know what resources was available to them in the Hampton Roads area.

This was just a volunteer position. All I had to do is basically answer the phone, jot down information from patient wanting information on arthritis. Print copies, stuffed bags and/or envelopes, and stamped envelopes.

This is a great organization with people with arthritis in mind!

I worked in the National Office in Atlanta, GA. Everyone was very friendly, like a family. I enjoyed working there very much. I wish they had more opportunities for growth. If they did, I would have stayed.

I volunteered answering phone. Taking information down when an arthritis patient wanted information on arthritis, exercises for arthritis, drug programs, etc... I then faxed information to National Arthritis Foundation. Also did little projects such as made bags; out items in bags to give away at the arthritis walk. Also helped out with some office – more... duties; copying, stuffing and stamping envelopes, This was just a volunteer position. – less

Very difficult to show your individuality and to succeed. The work culture was not healthy but I understand that it is better now.

I worked in a great department with wonderful people. The work of helping provide people with resources for arthritis was rewarding.
