Pros

Notice all the positive reviews of this place are by current employees. Because they beg staff to write reviews constantly

Cons

Company fired me for calling out sick, conveniently one week after I reported that they had failed to pay thousands in bonus out to staff. They charge nonprofits over $300 per member acquisition, meaning it can take up to two years for these donations to simply break even. Meanwhile they pay staff a paltry hourly wage while they profit off good causes and well meaning people and organizations. Management was erratic, unprofessional and never did the work they said. Unreachable most days. Changed bonus and policy over 5x times in the 7 months I worked there. Staff are quickly fired for speaking up. Ive never seen a place in need of a union so badly. CANVASSERS BEWARE! DONORS BEWARE!

Pros

I've worked here for almost five years, and can tell you that everyone at every level cares deeply about each other, the people who work here, and the work. It is a very high training and accountability environment on the canvass.

Cons

The work is difficult, and structurally managing the operation can be difficult.

Pros

Great bonus structure for people who come into the job already knowing how to canvass

Cons

Nobody in leadership has any experience at all, and simply don't understand how to train people or run a canvass office. They leave new canvassers to sink or swim on their own and provide trainings that directly contradict each other which confuses new hires, Multiple people in leadership positions took advantage of subordinates outside of work, which shows the ineptitude of the management. I was the best canvasser in the office, and regularly helped co-workers keep their job by letting them sign up the members I got. Management would promote one type of person who wasn't making quota, but then would fire other people who looked differently for missing the same quota. All the leadership looks the same, which is a funny coincidence.
