Absolutely terrible experience.

Business Outlook

Pros

Work with hard-working people... that's about it for the positive.

Cons

Terrible. Terrible. You stand outside grocery stores and get glared at by hundreds of people. You can't even tell people about the fundraising because before you open your mouth you get cussed out and yelled at and everything else imaginable. My first day, two people quit in the spot. I was so stressed that I quit after day two. I am an extremely hard worker but it had to be the most miserable and degrading job that I have ever, ever, ever had in my life- and that's coming from someone who used to be a waitress at a 24 hour place.
