Pros

I loved working for Christine and Chaney, the directors for the largest period of time I worked there. Tina was the best boss, and was familiar with the best turfs for fundraising, as well as interested in and people succeeding. Chaney was also a lovely person to work with/for. I enjoyed the job and the people I worked with by and large, and made a very good salary ($18/hr. average), and love WGBH so it was fun. I lost weight with all the walking. If you like people, or PBS, NPR, this is a great job.

Cons

Management brought in new people, and changed the lineup. The new person was not as knowledgeable about turf and made decisions that weren't as lucrative to the team. Weather can be tough, but it's also challenging (which can be good). Ice is a hazard, and batteries for headlamps were in short supply. It can take too much time getting back from regions that should be overnight trips instead of single day trips (NH primarily).

Pros

Fun laid-back work environment. Working for a good cause and helping make an impact in the community.

Cons

Door-to-door canvassing in the winter is pretty miserable.

Pros

Good money for what it is! I enjoyed working outside and meeting new people every single day.

Cons

Hours are tough. Upper management ranges from incompetent to downright malignant. In weekly all-director meetings, canvassers (i.e. the people who actually make this company run) are talked about in abhorrently demeaning terms. Turn over rate is insane and the company has zero will to fix this, which leads to an unstable-feeling work environment. The only people who are treated with any sort of respect at all are the brass in Denver.
