Loved volunteering at Girl Scout camp
Camp Aide (Former Employee) – Sterling, VA – July 16, 2018
It was great getting to know the girls and I worked with units and centers at the camp. I volunteered for a few different years and had alot of fun. We had groups of 15 or so girls who we would escort through the centers and entertain in between. The hardest part of this was the heat.

Outdoor Program Specialist/Camp Director (Former Employee) – Tupelo, MS – August 16, 2018

Membership Administrative Lead (Former Employee) – San Diego, CA – August 14, 2018
I loved working at Girl Scouts. I worked very hard as you would in any non profit and wore many hats. I appreciated the fact that I was encouraged to step out of my comfort zone and work in multiple departments.
Too much time spent on looking for someone to make a mistake & threatening employees. Not enough time on helping.
Receptionist/Office Assistant (Former Employee) – Columbus, OH – August 14, 2018
Poor leadership. Was told NOT to help co-workers - they could do it themselves, which is just the opposite of the way a company should be lead, in my opinion.
Pros
lots of time off
Cons
micro management mentality of supervisor
Fullfilling work environment

Working for a good cause
Cons
non communication with the department heads
Consistently busy
Database and Customer Service Specialist (Former Employee) – Anchorage, AK – August 10, 2018
I really enjoyed working here and wish my daycare center did not fall through. The people are nice, the environment is friendly. Unsure if the same people still work there, but they were great.
Positive, encouraging and innovative place to work.

Membership and Community Program Excec. (Former Employee) – Victoria, TX – August 2, 2018
This was a great organization to be a part of. I enjoyed and learned so much in the short time I was there. Enjoyed my position every day. Beware of getting a supervisor that will not listen to you. My first supervisor in membership was fantastic. She was open to new ideas and very supportive. As far as my community program supervisor I wish the staff under her the best of luck.
Pros
Purpose was meaningful.
Cons
Stressful
Productive Fun Work Environment
