Business Outlook

Pros

some of the employees are good people but just some of them. Greenpeace is located close to Kensington Market.

Cons

Not everybody is welcome to work there unless you think, eat, behave like the group. It's a totalitarianism. Be different and you will be dead. Many people think they ar eon the top of the world and are quite arrogant. The salary is low, the place is old, dirty and quite hippie (cheap hippie I would say). Management get huge salary though.
