Its a good place for first employment - Project Coordinator AMERICAN ISLAMIC CONGRESS Employee Review

Exposure to interesting people and events. The office double as a gallery so being able to work around varied original artwork was also enjoyable.

The time spent on setting up events often ends up taking away from other projects.

This organization has fantastic mission and values with real potential to be a powerful voice in its field of focus. Work life balance is great as everyone is in at 9 and out at 5 on the dot. Lower level employees have been wonderful to work with and all believe in the potential this organization has.

Do your research on this organization . Absolutely no structure for personal/career growth, employees are seen as replaceable and that's very evident in each interaction with the Executive Director and the number of people who have come and gone. Financial Mismanagemen and /Funding sources of the organization are suspect at best, which resulted in public backlash and the shutting down of all international programs. Executive Director is extremely egocentric with very offensive views about Muslims in the United States that are not deemed "moderate". Every issue starts and stops with the Executive Directors inability to manage/run the non profit and properly navigate racial politics in the US. Advocates intercultural and inter ethnic understanding but consistently undercuts that by refusing to work/engage with a large majority of Muslims in the United States as they are believed to be "part of the Muslim Brotherhood". This is a neo conservative organization that masks it with liberal/globably minded intentions.
