Texas Campaign for the Environment pay?
-
Ok, TCE came to my school for a career fair. They told me that they pay 425 a week. during the interview the director hadn't even read my resume and skimmed over my application. The interview was maybe 15 minutes and she said there is a second interview where I work 8 hours for free. I kept asking about the pay, if it's standard and weekly and she said yes. Now I've been researching online and I'm reading that they pay half of your membership sales. So is this a scam? Some kind of commission pay, or do I get a weekly paycheck of 425 no matter what? I'm an adult and I have bills to pay, I'd hate to leave my current job and find out I'm screwed. Does anyone know if they give commission pay or weekly standard paychecks?

Answer:
I have been wondering the same thing. While I am interested in the organization, I am weary of how the pay system works. I will keep researching and if I find something I will let you know. updates: these are a few blog posts i found on the subject "I have a friend who recently was “hired” for the Texas Campaign for the Environment. She went out, unpaid on her “observation” day and was canned that night because she wasn’t able to raise any money for the group. I have been wondering if the group is legitimately a nonprofit organization. I visited their site and found no disclaimer about their nonprofit status.She was told each person has to raise at least twice what they are paid for the week or else. Of course she was not informed of any of this until after spent eight hours, unpaid, out canvasing the neighborhoods." "In defense of the organization I work for, we are truly a non profit organization, we are classified in the state of Texas as a registered 501(c)(4) non profit organization, contributions made to TCE are not tax deductible, because we pass legislation. I apologize that your friend had a bad experience, this job is not for everyone. I know that how we are paid is explained in the interview before the observation day. and yes the observation day is unpaid, and we are required to raise a certain amount in contributions each week. I can tell you no one is fired on their observation day because they did not raise money, at the end of the obaservation day the person comes back and has a meeting with our staff director about how they did and if they think they are able to go out to neighborhoods and effectively organize the people. On my observation day I didn’t get any contributions, and I am still working for TCE. TCE has been around for 16 years, and has had 21 public health and environmental victories in that time. Our most recent victory was passing the producer takeback law here in Texas, which requires all computer manufacturers to have recycling programs in place for consumers for free. Our campaign is now focused on passing the producer takeback law on a federal level, and it will include all electronics manufacturers and all electronics" I think the basic idea of this is that yes, you do have donation goals you have to reach before you get paid.
