Pros

Employees are passionate about their work. Many employees graduated from religious colleges/universities. The headquarters building is clean and welcoming. The organization tries to leverage technology effectively.

Cons

As others have commented, nepotism is common at Awana which has resulted in a dysfunctional culture. Many employees, executives and most US churches are Baptist and hold very rigid doctrinal views. I've noticed that many people here tend to be fundamentalist in their beliefs (believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible) with no room for commonly accepted scientific fact.

Pros

I can't say enough good things about working at Awana. The staff are incredibly friendly, relational, and delightful to work with. The leadership team has a compelling vision for the future of the organization and commitment to the mission of child discipleship. The reach of the organization has grown exponentially in recent years and has no sign of slowing down. God is at work in and through Awana. I hope you can join the team and contribute to this remarkable mission and team.

Cons

I cannot think of any cons to working at Awana. The culture is highly positive and the team is remarkable!
