Pros

good work-life balance, engaging projects, and strong pension and benefit - but only for staff positions, and even then, job security is limited unless the role is continuing position.

Cons

inefficient workflows, unstable contracts, an oversized workforce where many contribute little but still receive full pay, and a culture where some act self important, intoxicated by their association with the name of UN.

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.
