Pros

Beautiful ministry mission and vision.

Cons

Wisdom of women leaders is not respected or valued. Look at the organization chart and see who gets promotions. Says a lot. Hasn't changed in decades. Women have to work too hard to be heard and contribute their best gifts. They are patronized by senior-level, male leaders - current VPs included. Women's leadership gifts are squelched/ignored. Strong, assertive women, who have differing perspectives, are seen as trouble makers. Eventually these talented women are either fired, counseled out, laid off, quit, or hang on and not in a position to fully contribute their gifts . . . . tragic, actually.

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!

Remote first work isn’t for everyone!
