Pros

Flexible work schedule Working towards making the world better Great people to work with

Cons

If you are not part of the popular click you will get treated like your job is to produce and not be appreciated. You will be under valued. Other people will take credit for your hard work. You can do many things correct but they will only focus on that one mistake.

Business Outlook

Pros

You will be working alongside like-minded people, who are all eager to solve worldly problems and can bring diverse perspectives.

Cons

Sadly, 90% of Greenpeace donations cover the payroll of Greenpeace telemarketers globally, to grow the telemarketing team, to grow the 10% of remaining donations. I thought I was contributing to a net positive activist organization, but instead, I was actually being paid to spend hours on the phone to greenwash people instead. However, Greenpeace believes they are the bearer of intellectual truth, although it is more of a telemarketing firm, rather than a true non-profit that would be more scrutinizing of how political donations are used.
