Pros

In DD agent needs to recruit donors. It includs talking to people about the important work Greenpeace does in order to get new supporters. You meet new people and make a difference. Greenpeace is a not-for-profit campaigning organization that uses peaceful direct action, political lobbying, scientific research and market pressure to expose global problems and research solutions and alternatives that are essential to a green and peaceful future.

Cons

A Street canvasser works at busy public locations, engaging passersby, working outside in summer and winter, can be difficult, mentally and physically.

Business Outlook

Pros

Make a real contribution to the world working with Greenpeace,.Co-workers are passionate about saving threatened areas of the world and endangered species,, friendly, and helpful. Work outside.recruiting new members and educating people about critical environmental issues campaigns and previous victories

Cons

Poor, inadequate training and communication. No steady work schedule. Work of new-member recruitment is done by stopping strangers (passers-by0 to tell them about an important environmental issue, what Greenpeace is working to solve the issue, and how they've succeeded before . It's tough work -- I imagine harder than "cold calling"
