Pros

Knowing your making a difference in the lives of kids. Great Program that you can stand behind. Lots of potential for upward movement within the organization. Insurance and Retirement

Cons

Work/Life Balance is very hard. You can easily make everything you do about scouting. Upward movement/promotional will mostly involve moving from one council to another. So be prepared. "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust...what the volunteer wont do the professional must." - if you don't have a good volunteer base, you'll end up doing everything yourself. You can easily burn out if your not careful. Working with volunteers means you will be in meetings after normal business hours which can take you away from family.

Pros

Good health benefits via UnitedHealth.

Cons

Micromanage, cannot hold a conversation in office in this department without getting in trouble for talking with colleagues. However they expect you to come in 3 days a week at minimum to encourage team collaboration and team building. Meanwhile people who are paid at least 6 figures walk around the office holding conversations about nothing work related or complaining about local council employees and members-as if they do not realize without these very same people they would not have the big houses and fancy cars they own.
