Pros
The starting pay for full time is 13-14$ per hour plus bonuses -- bonuses which could be anywhere from 0-250$ per week! This is the easiest place to get hired, fired, then re-hired again! They also pay weekly an allow you to work from home if you so choose. Management knows the job is tough and they do a lot to try to show appreciation to their callers with various activities like monthly recognition meetings, free fountain soda drinks in the break-room, spiffs and incentive contest, and special bonus structured that can net you a higher bonus then mentioned above. You also LITERALLY make your own schedule which you can change weekly if you choose. Above average computers and office space, speaking in terms of quality.
Cons
Your job is always on the line if you don't meet a specific quota of donations received per week which for the most part are always set a little to high; basically there are people who get fired every week. Literally. The topics you have to speak about range from general humanitarian work like feeding poor people, political issues that are always spun with a right-wing bias; this company is staunch republican. For example: you would call people to raise money to fight abortion and tell people that babies are being murdered, slaughtered and dismembered; and a lot of religious based topics as well - they also pray like 5 times a day as a group which is completely optional as they don't force you to participate. The environment is always stressful and you can feel the tense atmosphere at all times. The management always seems to hold a specific type of attitude that their better than you or that your a lower life form than they are, which I guess technically makes sense since they hire druggies, weirdos, and crazy people. They would have 100 seats available and have 120 employees scheduled to work lol

Pros
You're asking people to donate for truely good causes. Everyone seems friendly.
Cons
Friends who recently got fired have told me that they purposefully put their Favorites (I.E. people who all attend the same church) in programs that have a high response rate, and run through people who aren't on their favorites list by changing their logged work hours in order to pay them part time pay, put them in nearly non-responsive programs with fried lists in order to not pay bonuses or demote (say from a CS3 to a CS2 so they do not have to pay them extra even though CS3 get harder programs and are expected to exceed in them) and what has been reported to me more than once by friends who worked there or are still working there is that the favorites never seem to bonus less than the max. Every single week. No matter what. That is not how phone work functions, even on the best month.
