Pros

might meet like minded people that also naively fell for the illusory "green" mission to then network into more sensible employment

Cons

- dismal pay - psychopathic C-suite - underpaid management exploits underlings to chase "incentives" - paltry "incentives" to overwork and pit employees against each other
