Pros
Uplifting and creative young team. Heartfelt talks in office about causes and personal feelings for them. If you love to socialize non stop with super high energy, if you like lots of walking in all temperatures, long hours, stopping random strangers and convincing them to be members.. roughly passing 300 people per day. And not smoking or wearing, drinking, eating brand names in public. Go at it!
Cons
Below the happy, bright colored "you can do it" environment for a frontline employee, it is high pressure sales. During group interview was told a minor-red flag, that I have to would meet, well easily meet "3 minimum" enrolling members for GreenPeace during training. But could be branched off to different sectors, I.e. Office work, eventually perking my interest. During orientation, it was disorganized with filing paperwork and then started an hour late...waiting awkwardly. Finally told the whole deal, how we have to enroll 3 members by the end of the week, more so in three days... or let go. And after training, must meet "quota". Slap gently on the hand first week if not met, fired the second. All being given a script with little factual data the day before the big "canvassing". Being experienced in high pressure sales environment, doing tours and customer service; my strong spider-sense that yeah everyday is different meaning quotas are unrealistic to meet. Very disappointing. Lower the quotas and value your employees more. Don't threaten to fire them if quotas aren't meant once you just hired them. Value your campaigns as equal to your employees, they're not "replaceable" items. And was told that members must pay a minimum $15 monthly pay, so they can pay for the GreenPeace employee salary. Shocking that it all goes to salary and not causes.
