Employment Practices Would Be Illegal In Most Countries - Campaign Organizer Impact Employee Review

It sure is interesting that some of these reviews follow the recruitment guidelines that Impact has. Almost like the positive one's were written by the upper management. They were. They were written by the upper management. You'll spend a fair chunk of time recruiting people to take your job when you finally give in and quit. They make you fundraise from your family. It's degrading, and humiliating. In training you'll be placed four to a hotel room, sharing a bed with a stranger. Luckily most impact recruits are good at cuddling. In the summer you'll work up to 80 hours a week. Every week, including Saturdays. Your paycheck will come out to around $780 every two weeks, in most cities you'll be working in a cheap apartment will take up at least one of those paychecks. I'm personally in debt $500 more than when I started working with Impact. This means that unless your parents support you in some way, the job doesn't make good financial sense. It also means that they recruit almost all white upper middle class kids straight out of college. There is no diversity. The biggest con for me, is what I can only chalk up to the organization being a con. I'm not sure what the end game is. They advertise incremental social change, but I have heard of almost no instances where an impact organizer is in any way responsible for any positive social change. Two years simply isn't enough time to build lasting community relationships. With the constant rollover,, no change can be accomplished. Of the 40 first Impact recruits, only 8 have yet to quit. Every time someone quits because they're overworked, overstressed and treated like dog in general, the organization looks worse. It is harder than it needs to be, because of the way Impact treats it's employees.
