Pros

Pay is decent, but no benefits as a part-time temporary employee. Paid mileage is a plus. Can make your own hours.

Cons

Much of the work is ridiculously unnecessary and a waste of taxpayer money. Also, if you don't like going door to door and dealing with irate people, this is NOT the job for you. It's like door-to-door sales. People are NOT happy to see you and usually want you to leave.

Pros

The job was very simple, training took only a day, and the tasks require no more than what you'd learn in high school.

Cons

The workplace was pretty dirty, and there were problems with organization which made things take much longer than they should have.
