Pros

You do feel like you're part of a bigger work God is doing in the world. Pockets of reliability throughout the organization, coupled with some great people make the day-to-day manageable.

Cons

Executive and Board leadership is a mess. Unfocused, lacking clarity and definitely unable to effectively, consistently communicate to the lower levels of staff. Too many employees, almost all I've ever met, leave - either forcibly or of their own accord, with a bad taste in their mouths.

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!
