Pros

You're not in an office. Work days start varyingly from 9:30 to 10:30 AM. You talk to a lot of different people every day. The work is for a good cause, saving the planet. Possibility to make lasting friendships with co-workers, because you work one-on-one with them daily. Socials once a week after the work day. Choose your own days off every week. Ability to move up quickly if you have what it takes.

Cons

Standing outside 6 hours each day on the streets, regardless of weather, unless it's 0 degrees or lower. High rejection rate - 500 people will walk by you and 470 of them will most likely tell you no without stopping. Office is cliquey. 6 hour days, so if you want to make near 40 hours a week you have to work 6 days a week.

Pros

It was wonderful! The people were friendly and open-minded. I enjoyed going to different places like Buffalo, NY and Ithaca, NY. I loved being able to do my small part to make a difference on this planet. I'm passionate about the environment.

Cons

Not paid enough, and I didn't get to acquire any computer skills.
