Pros

I was a director of the San Diego office. The pros of this job are very in-line with most canvassing oriented offices; often had a fun, team-focused environment with typically young employees. Hours are unconventional, however can be great for those who like to sleep in (1:00pm -8:- - pm). My hours were a bit longer as I was a director so my hours were often from 10:00am - 11:00pm).

Cons

The downsides to this company is that they are such a young company they have no clear direction on how to run a canvassing operation. Very wishy-washy upper management, and poor in-house guidance for most offices. To be honest, I would advise anyone wanting to work for an office such as this away. If canvassing is your alley, and doing non-profit work is also your style I'd suggest many other positions as the pay to regular employees is really low(Which makes sense considering this company is young and they don't have the assets to pay their lower employees much.).

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.
