A campaign is a business, not unlike a not-for-profit that mixes paid employees with volunteers. It's seasonal work that needs a lot of staff for a short period and a smaller crew the rest of the time. Like any not-for-profit that uses volunteers, you can expect them to be passionate about their role - that's why they volunteer. The paid staff is expected to professional more than passionate - it's a job. If the job is done well there could be promotions, usually in the form of future work at better pay.
From a philosophical viewpoint, the focus should be on your role at the position. Find out what you are expected to do or say. If you would be asked to do or say things that you find morally offensive, then you shouldn't take the job. If you find the job to require occasional distasteful or unpleasant activities on your part, but not morally offensive ones, then that's something you might expect with any job and they shouldn't be a deal breaker. In either case taking a job should not generally be about company policies that don't negatively impact your work environment (pay, hours, conditions, etc.). Note that I've already covered job duties that are morally offensive, and my advice is that those should be deal breakers when considering the job.
