Pros

Extremely easy to get hired. Opportunity for experience in entry level fundraising. Like-minded colleagues make time go by quicker. The pay is competitive for the type of position.

Cons

Blatant favoritism. At times calling the same members so often it is edging on harassment. 'Make or break' probationary period. The scripts tended to read like tongue twisters. Full time hours and benefits seemed to be out of reach for anyone not in a leadership role. Turnover rate is atrocious.

Pros

I don't know where to begin when comes to a list of pro's for Clean Water Action. What I can honestly say is that in my past two years and four months with the group, I've had the privilege to meet the some of the most dedicated, intelligent, and sincere people. I wouldn't trade this job for anything else. I get payed a living wage to walk around outside and activate community members who would otherwise have been left in the dark about important local issues and campaigns. I receive payed sick and vacation days, healthcare, etc. and have access to a 401k plan. My schedule is flexible (In that I have control over which days I work.) There is a special caliber of person who do this work. For those curious about it, call. I'm glad I did.

Cons

This work isn't for someone who wants a desk job.

Pros

Benefits are great, including paid training and paid time off. Staff is very supportive, and you get to work outside! Positions of leadership (with pay increase) awarded on merit, not seniority. Transparency and accountability are valued highly. Personally rewarding work.

Cons

You don't accrue benefits like sick and vacation days unless you work more than half-time. Working outside in rough weather can be challenging, as well.
