Pros

Simple application/interview process, easy work if you like talking to people. It was a good opportunity to make money as someone that became unemployed during the pandemic.

Cons

Some of the work felt invasive and borderline exploitative- the Campaign Organizer role (for the campaign I was working on, at least) required us to take pictures and videos of individuals answering a prompt about agreeable yet intentionally vague policy goals (ex: 'affordable prescription drugs'). These images were uploaded to the cloud but were never used by the organization we represented anywhere public during my time working. The website for that org was bare bones, with the same vague policy goals re-listed and almost no additional information whatsoever. It's been two years and it's wild to think these images could be anywhere in the age of the internet/AI, not to mention all the other personal information we collected. There were specific areas of the city we visited in order to target a white demographic for the pictures and videos and images of POC were communicated to be less valuable. Upper level management was dismisssive and condescending about these concerns. All in all, a bizarre and slightly disconcerting experience in hindsight.

Pros

-paid weekly -great coworkers and some of the canvassers were fun to work with

Cons

- The pay was low for majority of the campaign - Sent us out to busy places or low income neighborhoods to “recruit” people to become canvassers. It felt like I was harassing people to meet quotas. Never mind the fact i was catcalled and put into uncomfortable situations because we were always sent out alone.
