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.
