Pros
the only pro is that you get paid every week and the people that work there are cool
Cons
where do i begin? it is an awful company. its terribly corrupt for one- we told people we gave 100% of their donations to the kids.. lol what a LIE. we also recently told people that if they donate (insert amount here, it changes based on whatever we are trying to get them to donate) we matched their donation with a backpack FULL of school supplies.... lol there were about four things in that "backpack" and it wasnt even a backpack. it was a cheap duffel bag. We are constantly lying to people to get them to donate. ALSO somehow the company can send people on all expense paid trips to Cabo but cant get backpacks for kids that we tell people we are doing?? so sketchy. The typical day is literally going into the office for a couple hours (while we do 'pep talks' and meetings aka brainwashing u to use marketing strategies to get donations) and then u stand outside from 11 o clock to 5 or maybe even 6 ... no matter the weather.... you go to all different kind of stores. targets, walmarts, starbucks, even sketchy gas stations. you set up a table and beg for donations. then you get back to the office at about 5:30 or 6, count the money, and "reflect" on your day lol... the leaders are there until night time. I was told that everyone had "expiration dates" so if you dont progress in the company as fast as they want you to (aka memorizing and regurgitating random sales tactics every day until you get promoted), they will just fire you. if you think about the amount of time spent there (around 8 am to 6 or even 7 pm.. maybe even 8..) your paycheck is most likely less than minimum wage if you go by hourly. and then they expect you to go home and study their packet and come back in the morning to repeat a new page everyday. NO worklife balance. your paycheck depends on the amount of donations you get. you only get 30% of whatever donations you collect. and the manager decides where everyone goes. you could see 100 people... or five people. just depends on the location. if you google the non profit "stand for the silent" there arent many statistics on where exactly the money goes. do not work here unless you dont mind being overworked, lying to people and telling them whatever they need to hear to donate more, and literally being put outside for hours no matter the weather only to get commission from peoples DONATIONS that are supposed to go towards "anti bullying and suicide prevention" but really go to ??? nobody knows??? it was hell. do not work here.
