Business Outlook

Pros

Tremendous work environment. Great people, everyone is very positive. Beautiful setting, one of my favorite places in the world. Room and board are provided. The best place that I have worked.

Cons

Low pay. It is a wonderful place to be, which more than offsets the low pay. There is also some shortage of supplies and equipment for carrying out the program.

Non-profit with lots of potential, but lead by the ultra-religious right when it should focus on civic issues.

Business Outlook

Pros

Developing strong community ties working with some of the top people in your city/area, but it's up to you as a professional good benefits sometimes, car is provided national growth possibilities

Cons

Poor management, old school and closed to new ideas. Hopefully new CEO will work on that, great guy. keeping up with technology is a challenge - some of my coworkers could hardly use a computer... Most of my coworkers had very narrow views and considered the BSA as an organization exclusively for white people - thank goodness they were a small minority. They should not work there them good ol' boys... working with and through volunteers can be a blessing or a curse. the age-old issues of rejecting gays, atheists and agnostics, and on a smaller scale, lack of knowledge of the American market - research is opinion based, not fact based.
