Pros

- Meet a lot of people - Chance to work with new technology - Good exercise without being strenuous - Mostly low-stress

Cons

- If you're an enumerator, be prepared to not quite work the job you signed up for. - Lots of walking, outside, in hot weather - Training period is asinine, stressful and discouraging - There is a chance you will be sent to unfamiliar or potentially threatening locations (but you can always tell your supervisor that you feel unsafe, and they are legally obliged to send you somewhere else)

Pros

Worthwhile work to benefit the city you are working in. Most everyone I worked with was pretty nice and willing to lend a hand if needed. But I feel like I saw the other side of how upper management treats people they don't like as much and i saw aspects that weren't as good through upper managements treatment of others.

Cons

Constantly changing directives from upper management. And they don't have your back when you get questioned why you followed the most recent order from your boss. Inconsistent pay scales by position. Pay varies by location. But they don't adjust it upward. If you hire on in a city that pays less, you don't get a bump if you stay with the company and work in a new city that pays better in your next assignment. Meaning new hires with no experience can easily make more than you because they started in the city that pays more. One of my best employees was paid the least. I felt bad and tried to get their rate adjusted with no luck. It very much has the vibe of they are figuring out things as they go, The department is grossly understaffed. Technology is lacking creating inefficiencies.
