U.S. Chamber of Commerce

Work long, hard hours, stay late, do way more than what you are assigned, take the initiative, and be a team player to get ahead here. The pay here seems to be higher than most associations, though it varies wildly. If you look the wrong way at a boss, you can expect a reprimand from HR, and don't be surprised if the boss claims that they're 'restructuring' and 'absorbing' your position. The communications shop is overbearing and makes a point to insert itself into everyone's business. The manager and director level employees aren't always qualified to have reached that level (we're talking 25 year olds who were promoted after two years of performing standard admin work, but climbed up because they have "the look" and take marching orders without question). Heavy politics and 'friends of the family' action hear. I admit that I learned a great deal here and made some amazing contacts. HR is obsessed with hiring those with Master's degrees and above, so the best way to get in is to start at the bottom. And don't be surprised if you trip over some very large egos. They're EVERYWHERE at the USCC. Overall, it's a decent place to work with okay benefits and a big, conservative, "we try to be everything to everyone" mantra. They could benefit from a more focused platform of goals and reigning in of egos, especially those on the 6th and 4th floors, but it'll never happen. Location isn't the best.

An excellent workplace that provides one with rewarding opportunities to constantly interact with members of the United States business community. One is exposed to United States business trends and the roles which the Chamber plays to influence public policy in this domain.

Atypical day at work is mostly spent outdoor essentially meeting with company executives to build and maintain strong and loyal relationships with existing and prospective members of the US Chamber of Commerce. An important aspect of my day is spent recruiting new members

Conducted workshops for small business entrepreneurs to explain how their organizations could benefit from the services of the Chamber.

One hardly notices the hardest part of the job as long as one's efforts are rewarded with substential weekly membership recruitment.

I was delighted to meet with a lot of people in the business community.

Learnt to be a lot more independent with clearer vision of what I needed to succeded.

Although there was minimal interaction with co-workers due to the outdoor nature of the job, relationships were generally warm and cordial when meetings were held.

The United States Chamber of Commerce management is endowed with consumate culture of excellence.

I traveled through SE Kansas and NE Oklahoma calling on business owners/managers to discuss the Chamber' political views on business issues.  Following a serious foot injury I transferred to the telemarketing division where I made in excess of 100 calls a day.  I learned more about pending legislation affecting business.  Management was absolutely great.  Contact with coworkers was very limited.  I traveled alone and had to be self-motivated.  I did telemarketing from home and had very limited contact with other employees.  The hardest part of the job was staying motivated without contact with other employees.  The most enjoyable part of the job was that I met some very nice people.

A typical day at work would range from event recruitment calls to business organizations throughout the middle east to drafting marketing emails. I learned how to communicate effectively with high-level clients and highlight key program features to target audiences. My management team and co-workers were energetic and driven which challenged me every day to perform to my fullest. My biggest challenge of this job was becoming comfortable enough to converse with a myriad of different businessmen and women from the Middle East, and this ended up becoming the most enjoyable part of my job as I developed professional relationships with these stakeholders.

There were many benefits that extended my tenure with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.  I learned that I have the self-discipline to be successful in sales and fundraising anywhere, with or without management encouragement.  The work/life balance was the best attribute of this position.  The compensation began as fair and more than adequate.  Eventually, office politics soured the experience and the compensation suffered.  This was a direct result of decisions made by management.  As a result, the job culture suffered.

The Census Bureau was a wonderful opportunity that came at a time when jobs were very scarce. The pay was excellent, the hours were flexible, and managment was always on hand to help with hard cases. The training for each operation of the census was valuable, all questions were answered, and a good rapport was establlished among the teams during that time. Overall, the Bureau of the Census was a rewarding experience that I would definitely do again in the future.

The US Chamber is a great place to work.  I interact with great people on a daily basis.  The US Chamber opened their doors and tought me a lot of benificial information throughout the last 3 years with assisting high officals and managers.  I've also learned how to conduct myself in a professional manner with outside vendors.  The management within my department is great and well organized and they care alot about their employees.  Working at the Chamber was a great experience.

This position allowed me to manage a specific demographic area and to build new relationships and to cultivate the existing accounts . A daily responsibility was to keep each account updated with new issues that the Chamber represented. As a new account I met the new client and presented them with the materials of the US Chamber, the key points and left with a membership investment in about one hour. I had many small business entities that I was responsible for gaining their investment for representation in the US Chamberof Commerce within the Small Business.

As Census taker our daily assignment were completed on a daily basis and often we were able assure residents that our questions were for their benefit and help their communities. In cases that immigration status was a concern, we emphasized  the fact we were sharing data with ICE/Immigration & Customs Enforcement.
As Field Supervisor my daily duties involved to make sure that guidelines and protocols were followed moreover, making sure my team members' safety.

I was a temp so vacation days and benefits did not apply to me.  However, it is a place once hired, you will stay until you retired. The all Finance and Accounts Payable Team and management was a pleasure to work with. Worked well in making sure the all entities were taken care of.  If you had a question and need clarity to do your job, everyone was will to get you what was needed.
