Pros

You make a difference in the lives of youth, though hardly anyone notices you. You recruit and support volunteers so when volunteers are successful you're successful.

Cons

Volunteers expect you to be in the office 9 to 5 and then be available to meet with them every evening and on weekends. The workday never ends. This makes the job more conducive for a single person rather than someone with a family life and kids. Your career success therefore depends on people other than you who aren't even paid. That's a large load of stress to bear.

Pros

It is a great organization, with plenty of opportunity to be promoted. There are over 300 Local Councils that make up the National Council. If you are willing to move, there is always a promotion available.

Cons

Starting pay is not great. Working for a non-profit is sometimes tough. Money can get tight and expenses are highly scrutinized. Working with volunteers is hard. Most of them expect you to put in 40 hours plus volunteer like they do. You will always have someone who is critical of your job performance, and everyone thinks they can do your job better.
