Pros

Working to help elect democrats in Florida does feel very rewarding and like you're actually making a difference in these communities (if you win). Also I truly enjoyed working with very capable and hard working people, mostly women, who really make the impossible happen.

Cons

TERRIBLE management. Whoever was actually making the decisions for field had absolutely no clue what they were doing and didn't care at all if they were making our jobs harder, if not impossible. Also, was promised gas cards from day 1 and didn't get them until nearly 3 months in and never was reimbursed for buying office supplies despite putting in multiple expense requests. It is unsurprising that Democrats lose in Florida with how poorly the field team is run. I heard from long-time community members that this is how the state Party has been running campaigns for a long time, at the expense of local knowledge and trust. I learned how not to run a field team from this job and was told I was "unprofessional" and that I needed to "watch my tone" for questioning the effectiveness of various decisions.

Pros

mission-driven. good network. makes you a magnet for people wanting to support political community-building, which is positive for local and state leadership

Cons

horrible. idiotic. abusive. the people who led our campaign were all from failed campaigns, and it showed. we did not have spanish materials until september/october. the republicans had better spanish materials and before we did... IN FLORIDA?!!! Management was straight up abusive. My team would consistently be cursed out before 11am in the months leading up to the election. The FDP would make sure that we were making unions a key part of our messaging to woo voters, but they would do everything they could to sabotage our union negotiations (sooo hypocritical and icky). This experience made me never want to work in political campaigns ever again.
