Pros

You get to do good work that helps people! Good pay for the position Getting promoted to Power Red and Charge is easy, it just takes some time

Cons

Atrociously long hours sometimes, some days are as short as 6 hours, some are 14 You're going to drive. A lot. Expect to commute over an hour sometimes. Your schedule will always fluctuate day-to-day. You might wake up at 5 am one day after having worked until 8 pm the day before. Your schedule will change even just hours before you're scheduled to work. Getting PTO approved is hit or miss, and mostly miss.

Pros

Flexible remote hours, supportive team that treats volunteers as contributors rather than interns, and a low-pressure environment

Cons

Tooling is limited compared to corporate environments — primarily Excel-driven, so you won't get exposure to modern BI stacks (Power BI, Tableau, Snowflake) unless you bring them in yourself. Data sources are inconsistent (legacy .xls files, manual exports requiring conversion), so expect clean-up work.
