Pros

Casual Dress code Young office with some decent people (if they stick around) Every once in a while lunch will be catered

Cons

- Nothing is consistent; senior management will preach " take time to help families" (as they claim that's what NCSA is all about) then after the 20 min rah-rah speech is over they'll criticize you for taking too much time talking with each family and not setting more meetings - Work schedule is always changing (don't expect 9-5) - As a Scout Coordinator, you are treated like dirt and required to do about 10 different tasks at once - As a National Scout, you literately work 7 days a week, 12 hours on both saturday and sunday - 50+ hours a week, and thats if your sales team is doing well and hitting numbers - The whole interview is filled with empty promises - Scout Coordinator team leads are a joke - Blatant lies to customers/families are encouraged, anything to get an enrollment - No structure with any aspect in the sales department - Low integrity and teamwork among co-workers (as a scout coordinator), people are constantly stealing other peoples lead - Promotion to National Scout will take way longer then advertised (really only advancement option available) - High employee turnover - The building is a joke, tight confinement, holes in the roof that rain comes through, rocks crumble off the wall and ceiling daily - People constantly complaining about problems and how much they dislike working there

Pros

The people are the secret sauce of NCSA - it's a great team that wants win, innovate, and grow together. Lots of opportunities to provide feedback and connect with leadership.

Cons

The work can be challenging and very demanding.

Pros

- Work from home - Get to talk about sports every day, and getting to learn about new sports - Manager was awesome, but I may have been lucky - I heard bad things about other managers! - There are about 10 teams of Recruiting Coordinators, all performing the same role, and each team being managed differently. Not sure if this is a pro or con

Cons

- Making around 100 calls/day - Leads are technically not cold, but they might as well be - lots of families didn't realize what they were signing up for - Over half of the leads in my funnel every day were recycled, i.e. we have called them in the past and they were not interested. Sometimes leads were recycled upwards of 10 times - Making phone calls from 9:00 am - 6:00 pm local time - often calling families at 7 -8 pm their time - Will likely be flagged if you go more than 20 minutes without making a call unless communicating with your manager
