Pros

High flexibility and opportunity to grow and to establish connections with new important people. Job that helps kids become better citizens.

Cons

I did not have any negative experience so far with this company since I started working. The only little downside is that sometimes I have meetings late or very early.

Business Outlook

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!

Great colleagues, but a muddy process.

Business Outlook

Pros

Colleagues are fun, energetic and dedicated. The mission of helping turn boys into leaders and productive citizens I find worthy and more rewarding than working for profit.

Cons

At times management can be balky when presented with logical reasons for compensation changes. Mixed messages between performance reviews and salary increases.
