Pros

If you're in to organizations that value group think and cultural over individuality, this is the organization for you! There is everything from a organizational mantras, hand signals, uniforms, and songs.

Cons

Organizational leaders were not always transparent as they should have been with their employees. While transparency was a big thing leaders provided themselves on, it was often hard to get straight answers to questions about budgets for events, programming or professional development.
