A Great Temporary Job - District Executive Scouting America Employee Review

Pros

You work with wonderful volunteers that love this program. It pays pretty well, and is pretty flexible day-to-day (leave and come in to the office on your own schedule). Many of the office staff have been with the organization a long time, and if you don't like your job your chances of moving to something else are high.

Cons

Work comes first no matter what. Personal schedules (family vacations, anniversaries, family emergencies) are not taken seriously. You are often asked to work nights and weekends, and sometimes entire summers are spent away from your home. It isn't a great job for someone with a family. Also, because we rely heavily on individual contributions, we often "run short" on our budget.

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.
