Pros

Flexible, pretty good pay for a job that didn't have any working requirements. Organization does great work and it felt like I was working for the greater good.

Cons

Each 2 weeks you have to make a certain quota of fundraising commitments, which is hard to maintain. The strangest job I have ever had, it takes a steely morale to stay motivated in the face of so much rejection every day. It was a summer job for me and out of the group of new employees that I started with, only 1 or 2 lasted til the end of the summer (including me).

Pros

Absolutely the best experience I have had. Loved the kindred souls I worked with (for five day, while I tried to make quota) Such a learning and growing experience if you really care about the cause. I can say I loved the experience even if I ended up dead tired after each day but it also could of been the stress I had trying to make quota. -Beautiful individuals who are passionate about what they do -Fabulous supportive supervisors -Growing experience, you are with beautiful conservationists and you are as well an activist and part of the movement! I am who I am now because of Greenpeace. -Learning experience that helps with ANY job. -It seemed like I was paired with only the bestest activist or maybe I'm wrong and they're all fabulous beings and canvassers, but on my last day I got introduced to musical medicine and had such a fabulous stressful day filled with tears after I was let go. And more tears for the next few days. And still when I think about it. -Meet Scott, Kristina and Travis my deepest love for you three

Cons

-Making QUOTA (it's understandable but make it a lot more reasonable) the days I was there that word became a nightmare -If you have been a fabulous canvasser and don't make quota for I believe two weeks you are let go And there went a friend if you're of course still there -The STRESS of making quota
