Pros
The biggest pro: Every single thing we do helps animals, whether it's leafletting, writing to companies, mailing packages, etc., it's all furthering the cause. Because of our work, I see circuses going animal-free, roadside zoos shutting down, companies ditching animal skins, vegan options popping up everywhere, animals being spared cruel and useless experiments, etc. I can't imagine myself working anywhere else. - Fast-paced work environment means we actually get things done for animals - Coworkers share the same passion/develop friendships with many of them - Great work environment, vegan-only offices - Ability to move up in the organization I've learned so much during my 6 years at PETA, and I'm looking forward to many, many more to come! I've been given the opportunity to grow and thrive in my role, which I really appreciate. So thankful to be living the #PETAlife
Cons
As with any non-profit, you won't make as much as a for-profit company. But I left my corporate job to pursue my passion and never looked back. It's absolutely worth it to have a job that you love fighting to end speciesism.
