Personal interest, green thinking; volunteers; fundraising like in 30th, company without management & clear understanding the purpose

Business Outlook

Pros

They have good intentions. They have performed some campaigns really well and brought much needed awareness to many environmental issues. Everybody is friendly to one another.

Cons

Greenpeace like to label themselves as a Virtuous organisation but in reality they operate just like a cut throat sales company. If you don't recruit enough then you're shown the door with no regard for your talent or intentions. The turnover rate is unsettling. You join with excitement that you're going to change the world for the better but you when you leave, your burnt out and slightly betrayed by a company that cares little for it's employees.
