Pros

Being an "ambassador" for the environment sounded like a good, socially responsible job

Cons

The hours are from 2-10pm. The job involved walking around alone in unfamiliar neighborhoods after dark to "cold call" customers by knocking on their doors, interrupting their dinner, their time with their families, etc, being cursed at, frequently told that what you're doing is useless, being threatened/verbally assaulted, walking around for hours in all sorts of weather are all not my idea of a decent job. I have also never been more disrespected by my coworkers at any job in my life. While "shadowing," I was scolded by a trainer for not displaying "positive body language" simply because I sat down for a moment to organize the contents of my binder while he was trying to get a contribution from a woman who repeated several times that she doesn't even live there. They are very shady, creepy people and one of my coworkers constantly talked about cocaine and made inappropriate jokes that made me feel very uncomfortable. They also incorrectly calculated my pay which was a hassle to correct. Do not work for CWA! Consumers, do not give these kids your money-they will tweak the numbers and spend your money on drugs.
