Pros

Great, great coworkers! It's a very fun environment with like minded people that you get to know very well if you stick around. Love talking to people on the streets, its a very humbling and grounding experience - plus you get to be outdoors and not cooped up in an office. Quota system seems stressful at first but you get comfortable with it and it no longer becomes difficult to hit every week. Lots of training and helpful feedback available. Prizes and some benefits available as goals are met. Also some opportunity to network and get to know other parts of the org.

Cons

Not much growth opportunity beyond canvasser unless you actively push for it - it is a small office. It can get exhausting beyond a point, esp in inclement weather. But all in all it's a great stepping stone if you're into politics and activism.

Pros

Overall, it's a great company with worthwhile goals and a realistic understanding of how to get them. As a canvaser, one is allowed to a great degree of personal responsibility in their work, with relatively little oversight. Basically, your supervisors drive you somewhere, you eat lunch, and you knock on doors. There's relatively little chance of failure, so it's pretty rewarding, and it's mostly older people so it's nice to see that the senile aren't always so curmudgeon.

Cons

It is VERY DISORGANIZED. There is no clock in or clock out system. There is no real training. There is relatively little job security. The supervisors can be passive aggressive and upset when unexpressed expectations are failed to be met. Meetings are held in hallways.
