Vantaggi
Working with adult volunteers and Scout at times at events that are not employees. Camping, make your schedule at times and it is flexible during the summer.
Svantaggi
Negativity is abundant! Years of instability, very bad business model, lack of actual qualified leadership, work 80-90 hours a week is not enough, you are threatened with loosing your job and focus is on the negativity and not positive, you are treated with limited respect, managers are elitist, who do not communicate with low level employees and they segregate management from front line employees to protect this model to force respect. Travel to meetings and office and then back to night meetings with volunteers, then they don't respect that time as it is not part of the 2 major functions, recruitment for scouts and fiscal fundraising responsibilities. This operations model is barbaric and they get away with this model even though the turnover is amazingly high and under recorded. The organization has a foundation to a program, but the management does not promote the same standards on the employees as they do the volunteers and youth. The Scout Oath and Law is good for the program but it is not a practice with the work place, the management sells it but does not use it or apply it to the business model and day to day business operations. Say goodbye to your family, they will never see you and they do not come first even though they will claim to be family supportive, maybe for managers. You are expected to work as long as you can to get to the goal.
