Business Outlook

Pros

Working with & mentoring youth.

Cons

Everything else. Extremely toxic work environment fraught with racist, sexist, politician bullies. Running their own little kingdoms, robbing the palace, blatantly committing crimes and spreading vile gossip and lies. Only concerned about the $ bottom line and if anyone were to dare have an original thought differing from the kingdom or dare to speak up about their crimes then it was “off with their heads”. Not to mention ZERO diversity and inclusion and ZERO work life balance.

Pros

- good work/life balance if you dont mind working evenings and weekends - fun programming - positive mission

Cons

- volunteers treat professionals like crap - politicization of Scouting (mostly volunteers) who hate progressive values - seasonal overtime can get overwhelming - easy to get buried in work if not organized - shrinking organization and membership makes it hard to plan career there

Business Outlook

Pros

Good office staff. People care and are great to work with in the council.

Cons

The culture is weird and gate-keepy. Dudes in the OA are barking at you all the time. Pay is not the value of having a position that you do the job of 5 men with no staff to work under you.
