Pros
-Getting paid to promote political candidates/causes you believe in.
-Opportunity to grow in skills: HR (interviewing, training), Payroll, Staff Management
--Sizable bonus for hitting goals and getting our candidate into office.
-Definitely recommend to people who want to canvass- this company will pay you $18/hour to go door to door and you choose the number of days you want to work. (Not the same for full-time staff).
Cons
-Salary looks good until you are working 70 hours per week.
-Many days with no lunch break till 4pm.
-Hours are irregular 10p-10p- including weekends.
-No days off starting 6 weeks prior to the election.
- Lags in supplies from upper management (Ipads, chargers, gas cards) slowed us down and added unnecessary stress.
- I would have liked more flexibility in shift schedules for employees who felt unsafe in the dark.
- Seasonal job runs August to November
