Pros

Incredibly meaningful work, helping children in need across the globe. Exciting and a lot of room to contribute in a major way to important global initiatives.

Cons

Due to UNICEF being UN, funding is utilized for programs that support children and funds for overhead that would support staff are used very judiciously. To that end, you may find yourself doing the job of more than one person regularly for years.
