Pros

Chance to contribute to the world's environment. Lovely people and work environment is mix. But according to me a place full of lively and same-minded people is the best place to work.

Cons

I work for Greenpeace India. May be due to low salary scale few recruitment are done just to fill the quota of employee strength. Need to develop the organization with more quality people who carry the idea of organization with themselves. People smoking and working for such organization put the standard down for such brand.

Business Outlook

Pros

Meaningful work. Good quality training.

Cons

After a short training period, you are thrown onto the streets, sink or swim. After the trial period, quotas increase, and even long time canvassers can lose their job if they have a streak of bad luck. Asking people to part with their money can be soul sucking if it's not your thing. Dealing with constant rejection, and standing in the sun/heat can get old.
