Pros

People are friendly. For charity standards the salary, benefits and resources are above the charity-sector standard and about average across the board.

Cons

Disorganised. Lack of standardised processes. More than a few people, especially in senior roles, are not guiding their teams or pulling their weight. Work is so flexible to the point where it's hard to hold meetings (where all key stakeholders are in attendance) and deadlines are constantly pushed back.

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.
