Business outlook
Pros
Valuable experience, a stepping stone to literally ANY other union, staffers have a strong union backed by CWA, good if you don’t have experience or a degree. Fully funded healthcare, decent compensation & pension after 3 years. The benefits are what keep people.
Cons
Long, irregular hours with little balance, constant political work (doorknocking on weekends whenever management decides to make everyone work a Saturday), horrible office culture, micromanagement as company culture, President who does NOT trust OR value her staff (“if you don’t like it, leave” is her motto). Absolutely insane expectations for turf- organizers are routinely assigned FAR more than 900 members.
