Pros

UNICEF's mission is important nd it's work is critical. You'll find lots of smart, committed people from all over the world, and learn a lot about the logistics and politics of humanitarian aid. The compensation is good for consultants, though they'll see no benefits.

Cons

The bureaucracy and office politics are overwhelming. The organization hires mid level professionals for entry level work and often allows them to stagnate.

Pros

Working at the UN was an amazing experience, being able to take part in such a significant mission was great.

Cons

As I was not a full-time volunteer and was also responsible for fundraising in my territory, I felt that I did not receive the same treatment as the other volunteers. It was a challenging role and experience, and at times it felt like my well-being was not fully considered.
