Pros
VISIONS is all about providing the highest-quality summer programs possible to the students who choose to participate. As such, the full-time, year round office staff is responsible for the logistics, communication, marketing, relations, upkeep, and foundations for those programs to be successful. The work is diverse and you are given a great amount of responsibility in owning your "world" or area of expertise. The salary and benefits are modest compared to Bozeman averages for those with degrees (vacation time exceeds expectation). Though perhaps more importantly, the owner/your boss is individually and palpably vested in you both as an employee and as a person seeking on-going professional growth. PLUS, there are oftentimes dogs in the office!
Cons
More misconceptions than cons... this is a rigorous office job. You are going to be on the phone/sitting in front of a computer day in and day out. No matter your job title, you will be a salesman for VISIONS - which does get more comfortable over time. The team consists of 5 (or less) full timers so miscellaneous and sometimes rather monotonous tasks are taken on by everyone. With all that being said, I guarantee the days that you hear/see families who 'get' the unique product VISIONS markets will far outweigh the days of data entry/tedium.
