Pros

This is a great opportunity for people who love canvassing or are looking for political experience. It also pays pretty well, at least for salaried people.

Cons

It's extremely draining, and management is not very sympathetic to emotional or mental health. You can get harassed on the street all day yet still have your performance picked apart at the end of the shift. Management is out of touch and not thoughtful. Decisions are often made with seemingly no rhyme or reason. We will attend equity and justice trainings (led by someone who canvassed two weeks, hated it, and quit) focusing on the dangers of white supremacy culture only to turn around and fire people for missing quota. Very emotionally draining and disappointing. For such a progressive organization, the humanity stops with management.

Pros

Great pay and healthcare, management and teammates are kind

Cons

Management fluctuates your goal to extremes. Lots of them are unrealistic, you won’t get in trouble, but they will talk down to you. I am averaging 55/hrs a week while being salaried at 40-50 in my contract. I’m super passionate about the cause but it’s hard to be when you’re overworked with extreme goals. People feel like numbers.
