Business Outlook

Pros

Encouraged people to become more involved and contribute to Greenpeace. Got paid hourly whether or not they decided to donate.

Cons

Very scripted, would get additional training if I did meet quota. Lots of walking, sometimes in rain/heat. Did not feel comfortable going door to door past 7pm. But during the day a lot of people were at work.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Good holidays - (Mostly) Relaxed work environment - Interesting and varied work for some

Cons

- Very poor management - Significant nepotism for senior positions but strong preference for bringing in skills elsewhere rather than developing in-house talent/retaining institutional knowledge. - Negligible oversight of those in senior positions that leads to overly aggressive managers remaining in their positions.
