Pros

Canvassing really helped me improve my communication skills and all my coworkers were great. I would suggest the job to people who need to fill a gap in their resume but are passionate about the cause.

Cons

Long hours that take a tole on your physical and mental health. You need to be a certain disposition to be rudely turned away 50 times a day. Pay was not enough to stick around.
