Pros

Flexible schedule with paid vacation and sick leave. The volunteers you get to work with are the only reason to stay in the job.

Cons

Work at least 60 hours a week. They tell you in the interview that you will most likely work one weekend out of the month and a night or two during the week.... BUT in reality you work 3/4 weekends and 3/5 nights a week. Bosses tell you to "flex" your time but it is impossible to get the job done without putting in the time. your job is 90% fundraising and 10% recruiting youth/adult leaders. The expectations are too high and they laugh about it.

Pros

Great way to build a resume and contribute to your community. The opportunity to work with an exceedingly wide range of volunteers and professionals to provide a social leadership program

Cons

Work/Life balance is not important, expect to work exceedingly long hours. No compensation (salary, comp time, ect.) for extra work. Additional duties assigned are not accounted for in employee reviews, but can be held against you. Strong focus on hitting goals that you do not have the opportunity to set, and are often unrealistic.
