Pros

work your own schedule, great health benefits...hmm think that is about it.

Cons

VERY political, old men working there that don't like change. Do NOT get paid enough for the amount of work and criticism DEs get. Work reviews are based on meeting numbers that depend on how good your district and volunteers are, it doesn't matter how hard of a worker you are or how much work you do to help them out. Promotions and opportunities are based on if they like you or not, basically if you question a process or state your opinion that they don't agree with, you are on their bad list. Rules apply on an individual basis, so if they like you, you don't have to follow them. They force you to donate to your own paycheck, and if you don't you are looked down on. Overall, DEs do all the work, get all the crap from volunteers and council, but we get paid the least!

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.
