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.
