Pros

Helping the environment and being politically active by doing so, relaxed office environment, good exercise during canvassing

Cons

Low base pay and a lower overall pay grade that is more suitable for college students than adults with children, can be pushed into uncomfortable situations during canvassing

Pros

-overly friendly staff -$11/hr-if you make it through "training" -super easy to get hired -five minute interview

Cons

-blatant favoritism -cult-like feel -40 minute "briefing sessions" that provided no actual ideas for improving phone canvassing -high turn-over rate (3 people no called/no showed/got fired in the 2 weeks I was working) -5 week "training period" where the employee is paid minimum wage to do the same job, even without supervision -extremely competitive

Pros

Canvassing door to door in teams in issues to raise awareness can be politically effective and the money sustains the group - when you find folks who care or can convince them. Knowledge of the issues - drinking water, waterways, permitting, is key.

Cons

Making quota is very difficult, especially in Republican areas...if you don't make it often enough, you are let go.
