Pros

Incredibly passionate co-workers. Mid-level and lower employees are fiercely dedicated to serve constituents. Flexible and family oriented workplace. The mission of Awana is clear and worthy.

Cons

Leadership is abusive. Constant gaslighting and threats wear you down and question your own faith and obedience of God. Dedicated employees can’t make up for the hypocrisy of leaders flattering you to your face and then defaming you in closed meetings and behind your back. Show anything other than devotion to leadership and you are excluded from critical meetings for you to perform your job. Lack of clarity and strategy breeds unhealthy competition. Redundant job assignments create confusion and stepping on toes.

I hope you can join the team and contribute to this remarkable mission and team.
