Pros

Can be a wonderful place to work, it depends on supervisors, co-worker and whether a re-organization is going on. During my time there I l saw everything from great to horrible. It's a huge organization and your experience really will depend on what location, under whom you work and the current financial environment. Great package while you're there.

Cons

Can be a stressful and not so great place depending on supervisors and not the least whether a re-organization is ongoing. As in many places, re-organizations and cuts don't always target the right places/positions.

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.
