Pros
LLS is drastically different depending on the chapter and the campaign in which you work on. National office is trying to implement campaign standards to make a more cohesive experience. I have been at LLS for over 3 years in Man & Woman of the Year and I love my job. I have the freedom to make my campaign my own, I have the trust of my manager and the regional and national staff. I have learned SO MUCH about science and cancer research and about compassionate leadership. Fundraising is essentially a sales position though, no question. If you do well you get a lot of recognition and incentives. If not, it can be tough. Time off and benefits are great, but is really hard to feel good about using them until you start to feel comfortable in the job. Networking is a HUGE part of the job. Great for moving to a new city because your whole job is to get to know the players in the city!
Cons
The first 1.5 years. Generally speaking most campaigns are on yearly cycles, so it takes a whole year to see all aspects of a campaign. It isn't until the 2nd and 3rd year that you start to feel confident in making your job your own. There is little to know training- it is sink or swim in the first year, which really isn't fair and definitely leads to turn over. Staff is scarce and everyone has full plates, which means when you are first hired you are held to your quotas and revenue goals right away.
