Pros

Meet a wide array of inspiring and motivating people. Great pay and a good job for those that don't mind working outside and talking to people about the environment.

Cons

Majority of their campaigns don't make the impact that they used to when the company was founded. Stressful quota system and long hours of being told no alot.

Pros

If you're moving to a new city and you're strapped for cash, this is a great job to have because you have a steady income (if you can meet your quota) and you will meet a lot of great new people. This job also gives you a sense that you're helping a cause greater than you.

Cons

When you're canvassing the public usually hates and avoids you.

Pros

Intense, interesting, inspiring, working for a good cause, great colleagues, international environment. Employer really cares about staff development.

Cons

Sometimes there are very vague and conceptual discussions, and they tend to drag on forever. If you like philosophical stuff, you should be fine.
