Pros

Commission is pretty good and the work environment under Christina was amazing. The camaraderie for the time I was there was great.

Cons

None that are uncommon in the industry; you'll spend a lot of time on your feet during your shift (approximately 5 hours), and bathroom/water access is dependent on the area you're working in. That's true of all canvassing jobs though.

Great experience builder; poor for long term growth

Pros

Donor Development is great at teaching you a lot of skills and building up your skill set quite rapidly. The pay is also pretty solid for anyone coming from a canvassing background who wants to work a 40 hr work week.

Cons

The hours are all over the place, and high level management has the tendency to deliver blame to the people under them instead of looking to improve themselves.

Not a bad gig

Pros

Not a bad company to work for- most everyone on my team was fun and energetic. They train you well and are constantly practicing your sales pitch. We were selling memberships to support Georgia Public Broadcasting, which even on a bad day pretty much sells itself (a lot of people have trouble turning down the people who run Sesame Street). If you are persistent and have great sales tactics, you can make upward of $15-20 an hour. You get health insurance after two months and if everyone on the team is meeting and exceeding their sales goals, there bonuses (team outings/dinner/lunches, etc). Management has regular conversation with the team, making sure you feel comfortable with your position and asking what you need to meet/exceed goals. You also have the opportunity to make more if you become a team lead.

Cons

If you are only hitting, not exceeding your sales goals, you just make $10 an hour. But that's fair. Also it's sales so there are people there who come and go a lot, get busted for drugs, etc. so you meet new coworkers and say goodbye to old ones a lot. If you're working on a door to door team, you will be outside rain or shine, so bring an umbrella.
