Pros
I was able to build some lifelong friendships from the members who came to the Y
Cons
The YMCA corporate structure is set up to be extremely top heavy, even for failing Y's that previously entered bankruptcy. Hours are long, budget is low to work with, and there isn't enough staff or resources at the branch level. There were reorganizations taking place regularly. Always needing to spend money out of my own pocket so programs and events could succeed. Being asked to donate a portion of my paycheck to the annual campaign made it very difficult to earn a living.
