- quota structure: The quota structure is pretty strict, much stricter than most workplaces are, but then again considering the necessary job qualifications and pay rate it makes sense; Greenpeace will accept almost anyone who walks through their door, because they know its hard to assess someone's skills at this job only after an interview. Basically, miss quota two weeks in a row and you're fired.
- cult-like indoctrination: To be perfectly honest, Greenpeace (or at least the office I worked at) was like an island for lost toys – everybody there was so wrapped in the Greenpeace culture in one way or another that they couldn't see the real world. This job has a way of making you codependent not only on your coworkers but also on the company itself.
My only advice to anyone who wants to work for Greenpeace is to know when to leave, because if you have a direction in your life that is outside of Greenpeace, this job will not help you get there. It's good for a job if you need the money and are good at sales (if you've seen Wolf of Wall Street, its basically that), or if you really believe in what Greenpeace is doing, but know when to leave, because there are too many people working at Greenpeace who have no direction in their lives and they will bring you down and make you complacent.
