NCSA College Recruiting Response
12y
Great feedback! This former employee hit on some key areas of focus for the Executive Team, which have already been acted on in 2014. Consistent scheduling for the Scouting Team, has been a huge focus. With scouting occurring based on the availability of the entire family, and like most careers in the sports industry, NCSA Head Scout hours are typically nights and weekends. We have been focusing on how to accomplish this with also providing an appropriate work/life balance.

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.

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
