Life at the AAMC

We support our staff so they can support our mission.

We enable every staff member to bring their best self to our mission by offering remote work options, comprehensive benefits that support life beyond the job, and time to recharge.

In remote-eligible roles, employees are empowered to move seamlessly between office-based and remote work. In many of these positions, you can work remotely from anywhere in the 48 contiguous United States.

Our comprehensive total rewards program — including retirement, health and wellness, paid leave, and market-based compensation — is designed to support your life both at work and beyond.

Hybrid Work

As part of the AAMC’s commitment to the fulfillment of our staff, we have adopted a model of structured flexibility that empowers employees in remote-eligible positions to work where they choose within the 48 contiguous states and Washington, D.C. The AAMC maintains a beautiful headquarters in Washington, D.C., that is available to all employees. Many of our staff take advantage of our hybrid model and choose to work remotely on a full-time or part-time basis (depending on position and work unit). A very limited number of positions require AAMC employees to work on-site.

Stay Healthy

Given our role in the health care ecosystem, the AAMC recognizes the critical value of top-tier health care. As a result, we offer a variety of robust plans for health, dental, and vision care. To support our employees, we heavily subsidize many of our plans for employees and their dependents. In addition, AAMC staff are eligible for a generous health savings account contribution (for applicable plans). Finally, the AAMC offers flexible spending accounts that allow you to set aside money on a pretax basis to pay for medical expenses and dependent care expenses.

Enjoy Time Away

The AAMC offers paid time off, paid holidays, and additional personal days. As an eligible AAMC employee, you will accrue between 15 to 22 days of annual leave per year with a generous rollover. Additionally, you will receive two personal days each calendar year or on your first day of hire.

Save for Your Future

To help prepare our staff for retirement, the AAMC provides a generous employer contribution of 8% of your salary with an additional match of 2% toward your 403(b) retirement account. New employees must be fully enrolled in the plan and have met the 12-month waiting period to be eligible for employer contributions. Upon being hired by the AAMC, new employees may have their waiting periods waived if they are coming from qualifying nonprofit employers and have been participating in 403(b) retirement plans. Former employees who were previously eligible for the AAMC contributions will also be able to waive their waiting periods. The AAMC also gives you access to a dedicated financial wellness consultant who can help you develop a personalized approach to achieving your financial goals.

Education Reimbursement

The AAMC offers up to $5,250 per year in tuition reimbursement to eligible employees taking courses at accredited institutions. Tuition reimbursement is prorated for part-time employees.

Physical Wellness Support Program

We want to encourage and support your healthy lifestyle. The AAMC has partnered with Husk, which offers a lowest price guarantee for gym memberships and includes access to over 10,000 gyms, including national chains and local favorites. The AAMC also reimburses up to $55 per month for eligible expenses, including gym membership fees and fitness classes.

Employee Assistance Program

The AAMC offers emotional and well-being support to employees and members of their household. Participants can access professional counseling and coaching sessions (e.g., wellness, life, career), work/life services including legal referrals, and counselor-led monthly discussions focusing on mental health, well-being, and more. This program is entirely employer-funded and benefits are available 24/7.

Sick Leave

Employees can accrue up to 12 days per year of sick leave. As an added benefit, if you can provide documentation of accumulated sick leave from your previous employer, the AAMC will credit your sick leave balance up to 20 days.

Sick Leave Trust

The AAMC’s Sick Leave Trust program allows staff members to donate sick leave hours to a general fund. Those hours can then be accessed by participating staff members who have exhausted their sick and annual leave balances when managing their own serious health conditions or that of family members.

Disability and Life Insurance

The AAMC provides multiple options to help protect you and your beneficiaries in the event of loss of life or disability. The following are provided and fully paid by the AAMC:

• Group term life (2x salary).
• Accidental death or dismemberment.
• Short-term disability.
• Long-term disability.

Childcare and Support Benefit

Recognizing the unique needs of today’s working parent, the AAMC offers emergency backup childcare services up to eight days per calendar year with a nominal co-pay. The service also extends to in-home care for children, elders, and pets.

The AAMC offers Rethink Benefits to provide behavioral and mental health support for parents and families, including resources for individuals with learning and developmental disabilities. Rethink is a free employee benefit that offers access to Board Certified Behavior Analysts and a vast library of resources.

Commuting

The AAMC will pay up to $120 per month for the use of local public transportation systems, commuter rails, or private commercial van pools. If you choose to drive, the AAMC provides complimentary on-site parking.

Rewards and Recognition

Recognition drives a stronger, more engaged workplace. Through peer-to-peer appreciation, milestone anniversary celebrations, and a prestigious enterprise award that highlights exceptional impact, we celebrate the contributions employees make every day. Our goal is to ensure everyone feels valued, motivated, and acknowledged through authentic and personalized recognition.
