Pros

You will meet some of the most passionate, hard-working people in the workforce here! and you will also get hands-on experience working with refugees and understanding the resettlement system. It's an exceptional start to a career in the international domain.

Cons

This was an unpaid internship, which meant that I had to keep a second job just to pay for my food/transportation. also, the full-time employees are paid very little as well, and it is very emotionally taxing work. The burn-out rate is very high because it's ultimately not a sustainable lifestyle for more than a couple of years, if that. Also a downside of resettlement work at the moment is that it's not supported by the current administration, but that isn't a reflection on the IRC.
