Avantages
° Okay pay ($20/hr) for essentially unskilled labor and temporary work. ° Coworkers are a diverse and fun bunch. ° Feels good to be making a political change, especially in your own backwards state.
Inconvénients
° Outdoor work in ALL conditions. ° Numbers, numbers, NUMBERS! Cold, rainy/sleeting/snowy day where no one wants to stop and talk? NO excuse! ° In order to make numbers, individuals and teams are dropped off at private property locations and do ‘hit and run’ collections until asked to leave, sometimes by management, sometimes by law enforcement. Soon after, sometimes the next day, different employees are dropped off at the same high foot traffic locations and hustle signatures again until booted. ° Entire business model relies on effectively skirting private property rights and calling it First Amendment protected political canvassing. Allegedly their robust legal department makes sure the company stays on the good side of legality. On the street level, coworkers jokingly brag about literally running from property management and often from the cops so they can’t get a legal trespass notice on them and can hustle again there another day.
