Saving the environment one polar bear at a time...

Frontline team leader

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You get to work for a great cause, and they get you really excited about saving the environment, Good pay, and sometimes they give you surprise paid time off. Really awesome coaching methods, and you really bond with your team.

Cons

The weekly quota which you must meet if you would like to keep your job. It's extremely stressful not knowing whether you'll be able to keep your job. A lot of people hate on canvassers, and are unnecessarily rude or mean to you. You get really depressed when you find out how little people care about the world.

Great place to learn sales (without calling it sales), and also be able to sleep at night

Team leader

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
