Pros

I enjoyed working with Greenpeace because it felt great to go in to work every day with such great and dedicated people, put in a long day of work, and go home feeling great about myself and what I do.

Cons

The only con that I can think of involving Greenpeace is that there is a rather large amount of turn over, but that is to be expected in such an industry. (Fundraising.)
