The Outreach Team reviews

LONG BUT WORTH THE READ. This organization claims to be progressive, but in retrospect, it is just another metric-driven, profit-hungry organization. Your organizers and directors work as though they work in an Amazon factory (an organizer has made that comparison). I have seen organizers get emotional about missing metrics, have anxiety attacks on-site (myself included), and think less of themselves because they miss metrics that day. This is highly unsettling since the company applauds itself on company culture. Let's speak about pay. As a company, you all stand with pride promising to pay individuals what they are worth, again, silly. This company is just a tad over the bare minimum compared to what you expect organizers and directors to do. I have worked ten-hour days at times, so let's break that down. Ten-hour days mean that I am working well over 40 hours a week to save face, 55 hours a week. Roughly, I am making $18-19 an hour. Now, let's look at the company's BIPOC retention rate, which is disgusting. I genuinely do not know how this company has held onto the spectacular BIPOC staff thus far, but I digress. Let me make one thing very clear; this company has survived off the backs of its BIPOC staff. That's it. Also, this organization claims to offer growth opportunities, that’s another lie. You will leave this organization feeling as though you’ve put more in than you got out.

* THIS WILL BE LONG BUT PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU ACCEPT* TOT does not know how to use their money correctly, they've been almost bankrupt many times over. That shows in a few ways ( they use a system called abacus for reimbursements if you arent given an Amex card) they may delay your abacus up to 8 weeks. You may also be fronting the bill for housing and just getting a reimbursement. That doesn't sound bad but when youve been flown into a place like Florida and there is a $50 Nightly room charge on top of already a couple grand for a week or two... it begins to add up. Though you will never be homeless they will put you in a roadside motel that requires you to get bedbug treatment over 3 times. Lets move on to the bouses ( When TOT overspends which they have all 4 contracts ive been on) They will also call an impromptu meeting and force you to sign a new contract that null and voids your initial regardless if the bonus is smaller or non existent. Refusal of this will bring your loyalty to the company into question and will more than likely end in a written or verbal warning. If they overspend so much they cant dig themselves out, you will be laid off, same day, no reason, just a plane ticket home. Things to note: The higher you go in the company the less diversity (Cis straight White) Members of the board are Republicans, invested in the private prison system, and against recreational Marijuana The baby company "Wave Fundraising" is the same organization If you still want to take the chance to be stranded in a random state for a company that cares much more about their bottom line than their employees, this is the job for you.
