    I am here to tell all potential canvassers or "field" staff not to waste their time with GCI. I know of not one single past employee of that organization, myself included, who has anything possitive to say - other than the fact that the experience taught them what they will NOT do in future jobs. If you want a good canvasing experience, or good leadership training, go to work for CWA, the PIRGs or any of the other numerous great organizations that have offices here in MN.

    GCI will do nothing but work you to death for a pittance that is not even guaranteed, and in the end, you will feel used, abused, and burned out. Who you work for is very important in the organizing business, because 70 hours per week of your time (if you are field staff) is your life. Make it count.
