      Pros

      Job security / benefits are excellent, and you can have good work-life balance in the UN system.

      Cons

      There are serious workplace culture issues at UNICEF that were identified by an independent task force in 2019 including abuse of authority, discrimination, etc. In the two years since, I have not seen serious efforts to address these issues. It also requires a certain personality and a lot of patience to function inside of a bureaucratic organization like UNICEF. In many ways, it is a dinosaur.

      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.
