Pros

Benefits (Health) are excellent; At this organization you will help refugees and learn quite a bit about cultures. You will feel you have helped others significantly in this position.

Cons

Teams are purposely overstaffed due to budget constraints. You will feel overwhelmed most of the time; ironically the more you perform, the more refugees are sent due to the fact the UN believes if you are placing them into employment, then there are jobs! It is an extremely overwhelming position with very little assistance from management.

Pros

Wonderful mission. Highly intelligent, passionate and dedicated staff. More than 90 cents of every dollar goes directly to helping refugees.

Cons

Bureaucracy and old-fashioned systems makes it difficult to move quickly. However there is a commitment from senior management to update systems for more rapid response.
