Pros

Its a job that has benefits. That's about it

Cons

Long Hours and LOW pay. Calls start at 7:30 am and don't stop until 12:00 at night. No work life balance. Not a flexible schedule for you, It's a flexible schedule for them. Expected to be a volunteer manager, sales person and fundraising coordinator. This is easily a 85k-100k/year job if you want this done right. Can only advance if you are in your position 3 years and must relocate to be promoted.

Pros

You get benefits and you can work with people who prefer to improve the building they are too cheap to move out of rather than pay a decent wage or fix the systems that never work for the members and councils who need them

Cons

This was one of the worst companies I have ever worked for. I joined thinking I would be making a difference only to see that the CEO is racist and ignorant and stuck in the past. If you want to work for an organization filled with people who always promote their favorites who have no idea how to do their job -this includes HR then join Scouts of America or BSA whatever they want to call themselves. How can you be heard when the entire company is corrupt. If you report something I can guarantee you it will not go in your favor because management and HR have all worked together for 20-30 plus years together and they stick together no matter what.
