      15 hour work days - 7 days per week, $24,500 a year salary which comes out to roughly $4.10/hr after taxes. Work for Progress' entire strategy is hire as many people as they can and then work them to death until they quit or they have grounds to fire them. They have incredibly high quotas and hire innocent people thinking that they have a job. The problem is that you have to knock door to door so quickly that it is almost impossible to not meet the quotas. I am not sure how this company gets away with blatantly violating labor laws but this company employs practices that would have made slave owners in the antebellum south tell them to calm down. They are weird, pushy, aggressive, uncompromising and only care about the bottom line.

      We're sorry that you had a bad experience. We are upfront about the work and especially when we are partnering with groups working on election campaigns, we're sure to tell candidates that they'll be working 7 days a week running a campaign office.

      Their campaigns work on important causes, and winning a campaign is a good thing for people and the country.

      Inconvénients

      This organization, and many of the other organizations within the public interest network, have a really hard time with employee retention when it comes to the canvass director and campaign organizer roles. In a lot of cases you end up working so many hours per week it works out to be less than a minimum wage salary. In many cases the canvassers that you hire as a director, make more an hour than you do. There are a few situations involving canvasser's concerns/safety that were not handled well by higher management in my opinion. I also feel that you are very much just a number in the overall organization of the team. When myself and others raised concerns or decided to quit because we were uncomfortable with the way things were done, the management seemed more than willing to drop us and find the next person who would be willing to blindly follow their game plan. Because of that, I really didn't feel valued.
