Pros

Knowledgeable staff and supervisors Good social package (pension, medical insurance, maternity cover, etc.) Provision of constant training for staff (at least once a year) Overall good salary

Cons

Bureaucracy!!!!!! It is almost impossible to be promoted even if you are genius and going extra mile in your job national staff's salaries 8-9 times lower than international staff's salaries. Even though national staff doing 80% of the work be prepared to overwork and work extra hours for free

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.
