Pros

Get hired right out of college with good start out pay and benefits. Great resume builder. Volunteers will respect you even when you're half their age.

Cons

Don't wear Sperry dress shoes, grow a beard , or wear slim fit dress pants in the office. Seriously, I got verbal warnings and write ups for all three of these ludicrous "offenses". This is an extremely conservative work environment. If you do not physically meet their standards, you will get in trouble. Management uses laissez faire style of leadership. This is extremely challenging for a newly hired District Executive. They expect you to meet high goals with with no help from your direct supervisor. Expect to sacrifice weekend time and you'll spend many nights working. Overall, this is an extremly consertaive Christian environment. There is no room for progressive though Everything has to be done how its always been done. This was the worst job I have ever worked at. If you do not adhere to conservative or Christian values, you will dread this job.

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.
