A good part time job if you're with the right management
Pros
-Relatively easy since you're signing people up for PBS memberships. Only takes one or two people to sign up to hit your quota for the day (or week if you're good) -Decent pay and commission if you're doing well -You'll meet some awesome co-workers -DDS pays for a weekly staff night that includes free appetizers. It's a fun way to bond with the staff.
Cons
- It's door to door fundraising, you have to be able to face rejection/ridicule on a daily basis and hit quotas to sustain your job with the company. Many people burn out within months of working - Sometimes the location you're fundraising can be hard to sign up members due to the demographics (low income mostly) This can sometimes occur for weeks when turf is running thin -At times Directors and Project Managers can be caught up in their own work too much to the point where they ignore requests from the canvassers or straight up fail to correctly train new hires. Directors also sometimes cut themselves preferential turf, which can create a low morale for the entire office. -Hard to move past field manager in the company
