Clean Water Action reviews

The national canvass management is abusive and toxic. I was gaslit, lied to, and and treated terribly by the national canvass staff when I stood up for myself regarding my needs to attend to my health and insisting that the terms under which I accepted my role as a field manager be honored. I know of at least two other canvass staff in other offices who were forced out of the organization by the same national staff under similar circumstances and several others who left the organization of their own accord because of those national staff members' behavior and treatment of state-level canvass staff. The same members of management protected abusive staff at the local level (racism, transphobia, sexism, generally abusive behavior) that was reported by multiple staff for years. If you never have to interact with the national canvass staff then it's not an issue, but the manipulative and deceptive treatment of state-level staff by the national canvass staff is untenable for sustained employment. On a seperate note, while the canvassing pay structure used to be very lucrative, it is now pretty sad in comparison to most canvassing/fundraising pay structures and there are multiple policies in place that disincentivize high performance. As an established employee, I retained my original bonus rate as a field manager, but newer employees have a significantly lower compensation rate.

Exhausting, long hours, and if you do not like begging people for donations, this is not for you.
