Pros

At least they stopped paying minimum wage. You can show up late. If you like faking numbers youll be fine for a couple of months--this makes it so honest workers will be held to those standards. Some of the people were great, but i am not reviewing wfp as a social club.

Cons

They lied about the union the pay and the quota to my face in the interview. The messed up my pay check every other week. They implied we could fake a few petition signatures. Note that you wont be working for progressives if you campaign, just whoever paid wfp for tgeir canvass. The management has very bad drivers--your life will be at risk for no reason

Pros

They have all-gender bathrooms. The recruiters, etc, were nice, which unfortunately is not a substitute for giving you an actual, doable, lasting job.

Cons

The canvasser job is not real. It is temporary, precarious labor. It is the worst job in the world. It's completely demoralizing. You will literally work there for a few weeks or a month tops because the quota is simply not reachable for a normal human being who doesn't feel comfortable harassing and coercing random people on the street. It is entirely hypocritical for WFP to be a "progressive" organization that uses precarious labor like this. Not to mention, electing more Democrats is not going to fix this broken, broken world, because Democrats are already the ones doing half the work to hold this terrible system in place. Only real grassroots action can make real progressive change, and WFP is not that.
