Pros
It's nice to know that you are doing something that helps kids. If you were in the Scouts as a youth, then it makes you proud to be a professional, at least for a short while.
Cons
You will have to wear an actual BSA uniform at least twice a week. The intelligence of at least half of the professionals is quite low. You are basically an Herbalife or Amway type of direct-sales marketer, albeit for a volunteer organization. Starting pay is horrible especially for the fact that you will be working many late nights and weekends. The council executive's pay is typically 5-7 times higher.
