Business Outlook
Pros
Working with a diverse group of people. Clear training. Opportunities to motivate and empower staff. The census is extremely important for the distribution of funding back to the community. The respondents and co-workers keep the job interesting if you are a "people person". Excellent opportunity for folks who want to gain skills in persuasion (sales) which is a benefit for the canvassers.
Cons
Likely your canvassers sometimes feel overwhelmed, this in turn leads to a high turnover. Due to the time allotted to complete the count, supervisors are required to train newbies throughout the process while simultaneously supporting the vets.
