Business Outlook

Pros

-Great cause - Fun job if you are an extrovert, and love talking with people, AND can take rejection with a grain of salt - meet interesting and intelligent people - opportunities to travel - Management is VERY flexible and accomodating, - after 3 months of full time, FULL BENEFITS!!! med/dental/vision

Cons

- Sometimes it feels GP wastes too much time attempting to change laws, instead of pressuring corporations which is actually succeeds at - Low pay considering the job requirements (because GP is a non-profit) - high turnover rate with entry level and management, this creates a lot of waste for the org - if you dont have the right sales oriented, rejection proof personality, THIS IS NOT THE JOB FOR YOU
