Pros

As far as door to door work goes, working here was great. Very flexible schedule and hours, manager was very understanding and communicative. Get to be outside and stretch your legs

Cons

You are knocking on people's doors, so if that's not your thing you will hate this job. 99% of the houses had not heard of the study and weren't aware they were contacted by mail. So it's "cold calling" style. Also, the laptop and software you have to use is archaic, kind of annoying...
