Good cause, terrible job

Pros

Great cause. Get to know a lot of interesting people. If you're passionate about it, then maybe it's the job for you

Cons

Door to door canvassing. There is a quota for how much donations are needed each work day and that's how you get paid. Say you work 5 days, weekly quota is $950. You make $500. If you make less than $950 then you get 52% of what you collected or minimum wage, whichever is higher. You work in all weather conditions, raining, or boiling hot. Long hours on your feet. You are essentially walking by yourself, because you split up and cover about 6-9 streets for 5 hours in a random town going from door to door.

Important Goals, Poor Pay

Pros

Clean Water Action is fighting for some extremely important and progressive environmental issues, and it feels good to be a part of that fight.

Cons

The work environment can be harsh, and there is not a high premium on employee safety during inclement weather. There is also no prior knowledge of the people whose doors you are knocking on - no information on whether or not you are knocking on the door of a registered sex offender or anything to that effect. The emphasis on fundraising goals is incredibly stressful, especially early on in employment. For the physical and mental demands that the job puts on you, the $10/hour you make if you manage to meet your goals is not sufficient. Even worse, you only make minimum wage if you do not meet your fundraising goals. Progressive organizations everywhere, regardless of their main focus, should provide a living wage to all employees.
