Pros

- lots of internal expertise - well respected organization that opens doors - good ability to mobilize resources - good pay

Cons

It is a UN agency and thus bureaucratic and risk averse. However if you are able to understand how the system works and make the system work for you, you can achieve a lot.

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.
