Pros

Good peeps and life long connections

Cons

Greenpeace kinda sucks. I can’t remember the last meaningfully thing these guys have done. Some of the comments are whiners. I used to have raise $100 a night and that was in 1992. If it is hard for folks to raise $150 a week that should tell you something. And $15/hr? I made that in 1992

Pros

You’ll work with some of the most brilliant and dedicated people you’ll ever meet. Exciting organization that works at a fast pace.

Cons

Long hours, evenings and weekends. The salary is both higher than many grassroots groups and lower than other large groups.
