Good job if you're young

Pros

This is a good job for those in high school or college and living at home.

Cons

You only get a very low base hourly rate and then make the rest based on the number of people you can sign up. This is frankly too much of a risk if you're trying to support yourself in NYC

Pros

* Help save the world * Interesting, well-informed & friendly coworkers * Feel good about the work you're doing

Cons

* Must meet fundraising quota to stay employed * There is NO leeway if you don't meet the quota, even if you're in a bad area (for instance a college campus where few people have much disposable income) or there's some unusual circumstance preventing most people from stopping to talk (for instance a huge convention)

Pros

The office environment is very much like a family. You can tell that everybody is there for the right reasons and it makes it easy to go to work. Working for a completely independent non profit is quite fulfilling and when you actually see the genuine change occur on behalf of hard work put in, there is no greater feeling in the world.

Cons

You end up getting so immersed that you can easily ignore your outside life.
