Is this your company?

Boy Scouts is not the job for everyone. - District Executive Scouting America Employee Review

Pros

You make a difference in the lives of youth, though hardly anyone notices you. You recruit and support volunteers so when volunteers are successful you're successful.

Cons

Volunteers expect you to be in the office 9 to 5 and then be available to meet with them every evening and on weekends. The workday never ends. This makes the job more conducive for a single person rather than someone with a family life and kids. Your career success therefore depends on people other than you who aren't even paid. That's a large load of stress to bear.

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.
