Pros

You feel good about the people and families you are trying to help.

Cons

No support from regional management. They do not listen to your needs and what would work in your region. Unrealistic expectations. Shady business practices. Money does not stay local. HUGE turnover problem and it makes it that much harder to be successful when regional management is burning all of your bridges. They hire the wrong people and don't treat the few good ones well. In the dark ages when it comes to programs and events. Will not let go of events that don;t work in your region and let you do event's that would. Very unorganized and ill prepared.

Mission driven, lots of flexibility and great relationships. The families and sponsors are amazing. The company continues to make changes that are beneficial to its employees.

National employees don't always have a good sense of what it's like in the field. Sometimes the cart is ahead of the horse.
