Pros

Co-workers are passionate and kind The larger organization does amazing work, one of the most well-known human rights organizations Get to spend time outside, especially lovely in spring and fall Meet loads of new and interesting people

Cons

High office turnover, especially when they change quota/employee standards with little warning. Demoting team leads is discouraging for new employees and shakes the office. Need to be thick-skinned as people who disagree can become hostile and demeaning. Sexual assault while out on the street can become an issue and management does not acknowledge this even when it is brought up by senior staff Management is chaotic, condescending and out of touch. They struggle to relate to the job and come off as abrasive and hurtful to employees. I would not recommend solely because of management In the beginning, they put your hours just under 40 so you are not considered full time (benefits)

Pros

The organization does great work and this position helps attain funding for that work as well as inform and mobilize concerned people in the fight for human rights.

Cons

You essentially have to harass and shake people down for money to meet steep sign up quotas and because of these quotas there is little job security. Also, the starting wage is $13/hr for two weeks of "training" , if you make it that far, which is not always made clear by the people doing the hiring. If you don't meet the first quota in the first three days of canvassing you lose the job, another thing not always outlined in interviews.
