Pros

At the core the work done by UNICEF is beneficial to the developing country population. There is job satisfaction that you are in someway affecting positive change. Great benefits - 6 weeks vacation; 6 month maternity leave; paternity leave; etc.

Cons

- Limited ability to move upward - especially from the general service category to the professional category

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.
