Pros
Easy to get the job Decent pay and benefits Atmosphere is usually pretty upbeat
Cons
The more bought into the cause you are the more they will abuse you and the more painful this job will be. You don't matter to the org. The people around you will make you feel like you are a hero, but when push comes to shove, if your numbers are not up to par one month they will drop you like a brick. The phrase in the office we used was "Eat or Die" The statistics that determine whether you are dropped like a brick are inaccurate and favor short sighted tactics which ironic for an organization that claims to be fighting for sustainability. Lies of omission are not frowned upon. They don't care about the accuracy of the message, only the money raised. The org claims to fight horrible corporate practices and negligence that favors the bottom line, while perpetrating the exact same on it's own employees. They claim that they stand for social justice, yet when it is statistically obvious that minorities experience more discrimination and have a more difficult time fundraising, they quietly let them get fired rather than acknowledge the problem.
