Pros
- Incredible, hard-working staff who voluntarily sign up to get whatever the opposite of glory is. a lot of these people are great, they will teach you a lot about humility, skill, and compassion. find them. - the flexibility to learn anything you want if you take the opportunity. you want to learn comms but you work in tech? go wild. you want to learn twitter but you work in voter expansion? someone will help you! - a one-color logo since 2012 @glassdoor cmon
Cons
- logo is wrong on glassdoor - state-sponsored russian hackers - it's no trump white house, but it's not free of that kind of posturing - a LOT of adult baby men whose feelings are your #1 responsibility - tons of staff turnover, so expect to spend like half of every year hiring - i am not 100% sure the hr department exists. or if it does exist, it does something other than hr - building leaks when it rains - the building is surrounded by gingko trees which produce foul-smelling hellfruit for most of the year - party leadership doesn't trust staff/maybe even actively hate staff? I'm not sure who leaders WANT to do the actual thankless and functional work of running the party but it is certainly not the dnc staff -so to sum up, you'll meet some of the most incredible people in politics you will meet in your life, democrats will hate you, republicans will hate you, you'll work 18 hours a day, 12 of which are spent flattering and dealing with the emotions of a select few men in leadership positions, put a bucket under the roof if it rains, and fight to get leadership to do the right thing which is the clear opposite of what they want to do. honestly i had a blast.
