I haven't worked recreation leagues in a very long time, but when I did, it wasn't just about money.
Time of first game (get there from work, or from home after work).
Safe and secure dressing area (if needed).
Safe and secure place for jacket, shoes, wallet, keys, cell phone, etc.
Drive time to game (local is best).
Number (bored, overworked) of games (is it worth the trip) to be worked that night (time of last game).
Schedule "tightness" of games (down time between games).
Quality of partners.
Quality of players.
Player behavior expectations.
Subsequent penalties for flagrant (you're outta here, and the next game too) behavior.
Someone with authority at the site (maybe the scorekeeper/timekeeper).
Turn around time to receive payment.
Ability (or inability) to turn back games due to new, or rescheduled, high school assignments.
General organization (or lack of) of everything.
