So many red flags, it's a red light that means STOP
Pros
There are no pros, except for the reasonable hourly wage - IF you get paid.
Cons
Horribly mismanaged from the first interview. Not a single employee was able to demonstrate that they have read the petition. Their "office" looks like they are squatters in an abandoned building. There is no real furniture and papers are strewn everywhere. I immediately regretted filling out the onboarding paperwork, which was extensive and required me to submit a ton of personal information. I do not trust this company to pay people or manage private information. If you work for this place, not only will your personal safety be at risk, but you will be at risk of identity theft and wage theft. They REQUIRE you to get into a stranger's car your first day. You are not allowed to drive yourself to the outreach locations, which is unheard of in almost every job in this country. If you want to drive yourself, you are REQUIRED to put strangers in your vehicle. That is a MAJOR safety issue. The Outreach Team ACTIVELY DISCOURAGES ALL EMPLOYEES AND CIVILIANS NOT TO READ THE PETITION. I was the only person in the room who could demonstrate having read the petition AT ALL, only because I asked for a copy of it 3 times prior to my start date. There was no intelligent employee present who I spoke to. The Outreach Team seems to actively encourage employees to be uneducated - it is what they want. Questions are not welcome. There is no transparency whatsoever in this organization. I was disturbed by this place, their building and their company culture. There was cult-like manipulation included in the orientation. Employees were gaslit heavily by training staff, who didn't seem like they knew enough about politics to even VOTE let alone work for an organization that represents legislation. Trainees were encouraged to be grateful that we were paid AT ALL, to be astonished that this company provides the tools needed to do our jobs, and other things which are a BARE MINIMUM that ALL companies are required to do by the State of California. We were actively encouraged to compare our wages to sweatshops in 3rd world countries and be grateful we were paid. This is not a good place to work. The Outreach Team and every employee who walks into their scary office should raise their standards - The Outreach Team does not even meet the bare minimum. I have NEVER walked out of a job this quickly. Run, don't walk away. Had I stayed, I would have gotten numerous parking tickets and risked my safety getting into a vehicle with strangers. I hope that I receive the paycheck I was promised. BE SAFE!
