Pros

get to work outside ok training flexible schedule

Cons

you have a quota(understandable) but if you don't make that quota in your first week you're let go immediately regardless of reasons like the weather causing people to not want to stop and talk also you go to the same spots almost daily so everybody has heard it already

Pros

Great work environment, friendly staffers, open doors and working for a great purpose. Located in a great area to boot. Allows for a lot of room for creativity and fun but making sure work gets done and done well. Fair level of accountability as well.

Cons

They are a non-profit so it's not the wealthiest area to work in but it's a known Day 1 and understandable in working towards a great goal.

Pros

Fast-moving environment, deeply committed staff and supporters, and a powerful vision. The opportunity to travel, meet amazing creative people, and make a mark on theworld.

Cons

The focus of campaigns changed on occasion, at a pace that seemed overwhelming. Often because the information on how and where to target our efforts changed at a fast pace as well.
