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.

Pros

Fun laid-back work environment. Working for a good cause and helping make an impact in the community.

Cons

Door-to-door canvassing in the winter is pretty miserable.

Pros

Good money for what it is! I enjoyed working outside and meeting new people every single day.

Cons

Hours are tough. Upper management ranges from incompetent to downright malignant. In weekly all-director meetings, canvassers (i.e. the people who actually make this company run) are talked about in abhorrently demeaning terms. Turn over rate is insane and the company has zero will to fix this, which leads to an unstable-feeling work environment. The only people who are treated with any sort of respect at all are the brass in Denver.
