Business Outlook

Pros

Any job is going to offer you salary, benefits, bragging rights, room for growth and an office social culture. But not very many jobs will define who you, as an individual, are, empower you with the creative and professional charge to make a difference in preserving our earth, reward you with the knowledge that you are impacting the world around you and surround you with the very best talent available to help you meet these very high expectations.

Cons

Nobody said saving the world was easy.

Pros

Work with hard-working people... that's about it for the positive.

Cons

Terrible. Terrible. You stand outside grocery stores and get glared at by hundreds of people. You can't even tell people about the fundraising because before you open your mouth you get cussed out and yelled at and everything else imaginable. My first day, two people quit in the spot. I was so stressed that I quit after day two. I am an extremely hard worker but it had to be the most miserable and degrading job that I have ever, ever, ever had in my life- and that's coming from someone who used to be a waitress at a 24 hour place.
