Pros

The National Council does the best they can; but there is too much trust placed in the hands of the local Scout executives. If someone runs into an issue with their Scout executive it does not matter about working for the "Boy Scouts". Each council is run as a stand alone not for profit. Training is good at the National level, pay is fair. If you can make it through the first TEN years then the retirement is good.

Cons

Ten people in management with a professional staff of 13 - problem here? National sold the board on the new Scout executive; but he does not have the skill set to do the job. Moral is in the tank.

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.
