Pros

The mission of the organization is for the heart of children. The outside customer/church is using the tools and product to advance God's mission. There is a team working there that truly do have a heart for children and their jobs.

Cons

The leadership is lacking direction, old Southern good-old boys that are stuck in the 60s mindset that it's a man's world. Depressive and lacking in female leadership, this is a boys club atmosphere. They keep strong educated women out of decision making roles and nonexistence diversity of race on staff at all. The pay scale supports this in that women holding the same or higher roles, with more education and experience than male counterparts are paid considerably less. They jump from campaign to campaign without research and learning; never reviewing past wins and loses. this causes spinning of wheels and never accomplishing or finishing well.

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!
