Pros

The staff here really care about the work they are doing and making sure that workers are well cared for. They recently shifted their pay system to hourly as well as bonuses to prioritize pay equity.

Cons

5-6 hours a shift is independent work in an assigned part of a neighborhood, knocking on doors. Working in heat, rain, or cold is required. Emotionally, be prepared for wonderful interactions with strangers as well as negative ones.

Pros

Learn about interesting campaigns, learn confidence and communication skills, can make good bonus

Cons

Difficult work, lots of rejection, often treated as disposable when it comes to raising HR or even safety concerns, it's hard to keep morale up which is key to making bonus. This is 100% a fundraising position and even if they tell you you'll get other experience the only way you're sticking around is by making quota
