Not there for the girls

Pros

Great vacation package and decent/average pay. Get to participate in a fun tradition of helping girls develop their character and sef-esteem through a variety of programs.

Cons

Cliques, cliques, cliques. Definitely not a professional place to work; employees are not respected or treated like their opinions matter unless they fit in with the right members of the management team. Long hours that go unnoticed or accounted for. High level management all have their own personal agendas and appear to have no real interest in the GS program that employs them.

Pros

The company sells itself. Everyone thinks Girl Scouts is amazing for what they do for girls and what they do for girls truly is amazing.

Cons

Absolute disregard for any humane HR practice complete idiots running the organization the CEO and COO are not qualified and are glorified secretaries, and absolutely rude and disrespectful. They are abusive to employees needs and have a complete disregard for anyone except their own motives and have not a clue about how anything functions and make up arbitrary decisions that have harmful effects on the staff myself and colleagues often work 60+ hours weekly and it is an expectation. We’re not allowed to flex our hours even if we are salaried employees working until 11 o’clock at night.

GSMISTS is not the organization you want to work for...

Pros

Proximity to girl scout cookies is a pro. Girl Scouts USA provides a lot of resources that help you learn and grow as a professional.

Cons

There is a revolving door of hiring due to the fact that most employees decide to leave after less than only six months of working. One of the factors for this decision to leave could be due to the poor and sometimes complete lack of leadership. With unclear expectations and unprofessionalism galore, you will not learn anything from those in charge - except for what not to do. The high turnover could also be a result of the toxic workplace culture which allows all levels (even the CEO) to participate in gossip about current, former, and prospective employees. The most common reason for leaving this company? The blurred lines between employee and volunteer with most (if not all) of your time being spent working uncompensated nights and weekends.
