Pros

Working with the Hawkeye Area Council provided me with the opportunity to work with youth, ensuring they have a good time through education, outdoor skills, and personal management. * Youth activity * Flexible hours * Funding provided for most activities * The people I worked with actually cared about progress!

Cons

I felt as if much of the work I did was treated as volunteer work, often being looked over in favor of work done by others at the company. Although the hours were flexible, they often expected more out of you than you were able to give, but I understand that they have their limits on what they can pay for/afford. * Pay wasn't amazing * Expected a lot of hours

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.
