bureaucratic in the sense of very individualized type of bureaucracy, allowing abuses of power. Fragility of staff assessment: both positive and negative attitudes of the staff may be treated easily in an unfair manner.

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.
