Pros

This is a great place to learn about associations, communications/marketing, and event planning.

Cons

The company is set up for employees to do well for 1-2 years and then move on. This can be a pro or a con. If you enjoy working there and hope to have a long career, you will be disappointed. After 2 years the owners usually cease helping employees succeed, leading to employee frustration, disappointment, and departure. Most employees are part-time, and benefits are minimal (expect 2 days of vacation). Owners are good people, but this is not an employee-focused small company.

Pros

Association Development Group is an excellent place to get solid experience in the association industry. Hard-working self starters will do well here. Professional development is strongly encouraged. The company and its owners are well known and highly respected in the association management industry.

Cons

As a small company, ADG is not able to offer great benefits. Work space is cramped, with multiple work stations set up around the perimeter of different sections in the open-office set up. This makes privacy difficult and often causes issues when trying to conduct business calls and/or conference calls. Staff is often overloaded with work that requires working (unpaid) overtime hours. Lastly, although all employees are treated fairly, there is obvious favoritism among a few key staff members.
