Pros
A somewhat flexible schedule that allows you to vary your work schedule. Working with a lot of different people and building relationships with volunteers. Seeing kids you've recruited into the program learning and having fun at various events. While I no longer work for the Boy Scouts of America I am still an active volunteer and believe in the program.
Cons
During Fall Recruitment, Popcorn Season, and FOS season you will work insane hours including nights and weekends with no extra compensation. There will be weeks were you don't ever have a day off and work 16 hour days. The council I worked for didn't properly train their employees and then belittled them for not doing their jobs. Each council operates differently which makes it difficult to assess the organization as a whole. When hired everyone starts as a district executive which is the lowest paying but highest work volume position.
