Pros

The pay was $15/hr, more than lots of other states. Plus mileage. Coworkers were a good bunch of guys, and people were educated and qualified. Supervisors were good and mine was very helpful, but calls in for advice could get conflicting info.

Cons

Supposed to be flexible, 20 to 40 hours/week. Once we got through training, they said do 40 or none. That was hard with my other job.

Pros

The pay was 16.75 per hour in the city of Denver and the freedom to develop your own schedule is a plus. The people hired to oversee the training process were very considerate, well organized, and engaged the field enumerators in many activities for on site preparation. The job is considerably entertaining because of the poeple you meet in training as well as knocking door to door.

Cons

The job is mindless and lacks any incentive. They would not permit you to work overtime thus allowing you to only work the maximum 40 hours per week and they made sure that they provided a lack of material in order to prevent you from even coming close to that hourly threshold. There was never a moment where I didn't feel like a statstic to fabricate unemployment numbers in this recession.
