Advice
Because they won't actually tell you the truth, or they will straight up tell you a lie, let me clarify: Your job is to be the person who stands outside of a grocery store and harasses people for a donation for a charity. You will be out there rain or shine, they don't care. You aren't salaried. You get a 30 dollar base pay a day and then 20% of every donation you take. Since most donations are only 20 dollars, you are going to make less than minimum wage every day. They will tell you it's possible for you to change this through willpower. That's a lie. You are also paying for your own gas and travel time. You are going to be constantly compared with others and ranked. You are expected to never not be smiling, and to walk right up to but not cross the line into lying to get a donation. You cannot complain. Ever. It's genuinely toxic. You are expected to do extra work unpaid and attend group bonding events whether you want to or not without being paid. In fact, you have to pay for them. The conditions are awful and unsafe sometimes. There is nobody on your side.
I'm not saying this as someone who failed out. I was great at it. I got promoted within a week. Which is when I learned the only way to really make money is to get cuts from the people below you. I just also knew I deserved to be treated better and was lucky enough to have somewhere to go. It's essentially an MLM for charity donations and I don't think anyone else should be tricked.
