Pros

Good people. Great mission. Nice facilities

Cons

Cronyism is rampant. Ignorant, wasteful and arrogant leadership take credit and blame shift. Executive leadership is male dominant. Weak HR presence. Culture morale is low. Layoffs 3 years in a row. Deep gouges into Awana club brand. Curriculum resources will deteriorate as as organization shifts focus to global.
