Pros

Nothing much, just thought of doing something good to the public, but later came to know i was wrong.

Cons

Poor organisation from the management team.Very little pay for employees that are put under a great deal of pressure.I worked with one of the worst managers in my life who looks after herself first and not the team, she tries to blame her team mates if anything wrong happens, she takes credit always if any good happens, no moral and ethical values, not even concerned about her employees at all, she takes it personal if you try to argue with her and she writes bad reviews about them and she had immature behaviour, they act very good with senior management but not with team mates.Most of the managers are not well educated, they dont even know the basics facts. All they know is how to raise funds from people and how to corrupt

Business Outlook

Pros

Any job is going to offer you salary, benefits, bragging rights, room for growth and an office social culture. But not very many jobs will define who you, as an individual, are, empower you with the creative and professional charge to make a difference in preserving our earth, reward you with the knowledge that you are impacting the world around you and surround you with the very best talent available to help you meet these very high expectations.

Cons

Nobody said saving the world was easy.
