Sounded like a great idea at the time... - District Executive Scouting America Employee Review

Pros

Respect from community, nice benefits, enjoyable environment. Enjoyed working with volunteers and kids. Excellent training if you can get it in a timely fashion.

Cons

Long and irregular hours, high expectations with little rewards, managers who yell at employees and lie to them. Way too much emphasis on fund-raising and not enough on the kids themselves. The most common way to move up is to move around. Very hard to live in one city and advance with the scouts.

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.
