Pros

Amazing Health Coverage. People are passionate about the work. You will discover quickly if this line of work is for you.

Cons

Expect minimum hours of 15 per day and only three days off for every two weeks worked. No overtime compensation. Everything is scrutinized, right or wrong, to the point of harassment. So many people were reduced to tears by Seniors. There is NO work-life balance and little time to de-stress from an extremely stressful line of work. Salary compensation is not adequate for the number of hours expected. Individuality is not appreciated.

Pros

The expressed views and mission of SEIU are laudable. The benifits were good.

Cons

The expressed views and mission of SEIU are laudable but do not apply to their own employees. There is NO respect for private life or life out side of work. Organizers are expected to work 12-14 hour days, answer their phone and email at all times and often get punished for not immediately responding to emails and phone calls sent and made far far outside of what can be considered work hours. While the benefits are good you can never use them because you are always working. Managers assume staff are trying to get over rather than believing that staff has come to the organization because they believe in the cause, this results in managers always mistrusting staff and trying to "catch" them doing wrong. There is no trust between coworkers and people are regularly thrown under the bus. Organizers are never allowed to say that they don't know how to do something or need help, that is grounds for being fired or blacklisted, and there is little to no training.
