Donor Development Strategies reviews

I came into this job only having ever volunteered for political campaigns. I had no sales experience. Everything was taught to me starting on day one. If I said I didn't understand something it was immediately explained to you in greater detail the next day. The team was small when I just joined, only 5 people. Now there are about 12 of us on staff. In less than three months on staff I was offered a promotion to field manager which came with a $2/hr raise. I think the lead director Vanessa has a strong vision for the team and is doing a lot to make sure that we don't have growing pains. -Management is caring and spends a lot of time working with the canvassers. -There is an hour of training every day, more for new employees. If you are able to vocalize what kind of help you need it's available to you. - The commission is one month's pay for every subscriber you bring in. It is possible to end up with hundreds of dollars in addition to your base pay. - There is a staff night every week which I think helps with morale - Working for a nonprofit (NPR and PBS) means that you are working for a lot of goodhearted people, the staff is very nice and there is usually very little drama.

Donor Development Strategies is a great place to be if you are fresh out of college, want full-time work + benefits ( PTO, Healthcare, Dental... etc.) and and individual motivated by competitive pay. The culture is inviting; the people who I had the opportunity to canvas with were super sweet, nice and inclusive. The flexibility of the job and ability to make up missed days on the weekend is an amazing opportunity to have for anyone who also does freelance work as well.
