Pros

Decent pay, nice co-workers, weekends off

Cons

The hours. If you want to have a life at all during the work week at night, you won't. Depending on where you canvass everyone had to meet back at the office every night. Sometimes I didn't get home till after 10pm. Also there is basically no room for advancement unless you manage to make it into the clique the corporate people have.

Pros

- Great, fun co-workers - weekly socials with staff like free pizza, ice cream, appetizers, etc. - You learn really strong sales and marketing skills - Talking to awesome people in their homes - good mileage reimbursement if you are a driver. Can easily clear $100 for long trips - easy promotion to Field Manager if you stay on

Cons

-Horrible, rude people - Going door to door as your job - Constant miscommunication with corporate and directors. Nobody seems to be fully steering the ship. - If you are a driver, lots of driving so wear and tear. If you get in an accident, company will hold you liable and provide no support if you don't have a commercial license. - plateau career wise at Field Manager unless a director position opens up. - Long trips (1.5 to 2 hours) one way can be in cars of 5 people. 3 people in a back seat? Not fun.

Pros

Great earning potential for extremely talented fundraisers. Plenty of autonomy for self-starters.

Cons

This is an outdoor job so be prepared for that. Job retention is based of a week-by-week quota.
