National Multiple Sclerosis Society Employer Reviews

A typical work day consisted of me collecting donations, cleaning, or organizing the office, creating spread sheets, and creating the occasional flyer.
I learned a lot about non-for-profits and the struggle they have running on very little to none.
The management was needy and demanding
I didn't have any co-workers
The hardest part of the job was balancing – more...  my school work, other jobs and still being available to work at the National Multiple Sclerosis Society as much as my manager would have liked
The most enjoyable part of my job was seeing my hard work pay off at the MS Walks – less

The Society reacges out to groups of client with MS. They also supply drug companies and medical providers with a broad rance of educational material concerning MS.

I learned a lot during this internship and I had a chance to work several different elements of PR.

A typical day as an Intern at the National MS Society consisted of entering participant registration information onto an online management database called Convio. I worked constantly with Excel as I had to update participant and event information on a daily basis. I enhanced my organizational skills and learned a lot more about Excel than I knew prior – more...  to this internship, as well as how much goes into planning an event. I also learned a lot about Multiple Sclerosis. The event planning department that I worked in was very well managed as tasks were completed in a timely fashion because of the strict deadlines due to event dates. My co-workers were some of the most enjoyable people I have worked with. They were very helpful with any questions I had and were interested in me as a person rather than just an intern. They made an effort to get to know me, as I did them. The managers were very approachable and did not create a power distant relationship between themselves and other employees, which I appreciated. I would not say there was a hardest part of my job. The most enjoyable part of my job was the relaxed environment and harmonious relationship between myself and my co-workers. – less

The benefits are decent, but the management style they have put in place leaves the organization in complete disarray. Most here prefer to work in chaos mode-so if you don't mind high stress with few results, go for it.

I worked their as an intern, and the employees were really nice. They are always hiring for new employees with positive attitudes to help fight against multiple sclerosis.

Was a great place to learn the ropes straight out of college, but not a place to stay for long.
