Hard job, but good oppurtunity for professional growth. - District Executive Scouting America Employee Review

Pros

It is a great organization, with plenty of opportunity to be promoted. There are over 300 Local Councils that make up the National Council. If you are willing to move, there is always a promotion available.

Cons

Starting pay is not great. Working for a non-profit is sometimes tough. Money can get tight and expenses are highly scrutinized. Working with volunteers is hard. Most of them expect you to put in 40 hours plus volunteer like they do. You will always have someone who is critical of your job performance, and everyone thinks they can do your job better.

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.
