Pros

Good hours (I preferred working evenings), nice people, and a community atmosphere. I worked on the Cape so I saw lots of beautiful places on my daily routes.

Cons

Expecting canvassers to ring doorbells at 9pm is absurd. The daily requirements for fundraising are also too high, particularly in this economy.

Pros

learned how to lead and sell. Nothing like door knocking! Decent training

Cons

i wish the training was better. Also lots of driving. And sometimes i wondered if the people donating would’ve donated if they knew exactly how much was spent to send people out to collect their money
