      Good cause, poor culture

      Marketing
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Wonderful people that truly care about the cause. UNICEF does amazing work globally.

      Cons

      UNICEF Canada has a toxic, hostile work culture where harassment and bullying are not addressed. Not able/willing to accommodate employees with disabilities. Mandated return to work and moving away from hybrid/remote options. Leadership lacks strategy. They set unrealistic goals with no real plan to accomplish them. Canadian CEO is new and fully out of her depth. Very high turnover and generally unhappy staff.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      To share and care for the objectives of UNICEF, i.e. to promote the well being of backward children and for the welfare of mothers and would be mothers

      Cons

      Though UNICEF spends a substantial amount to promote the cause and welfare of deprived children and neglected mothers, only 1 or 2 per cent of the money allotted reaches the deserving mothers and children. This is a bitter truth!
