Pros

Some committed, knowledgeable individuals, legacy with credibility, non-negotiable mission, excellent benefits and opportunities for learning, international travel and growth

Cons

The organisation's struggles stem from a lack of clear strategic direction from leadership, a culture of prioritising internal politics, and an organisational structure/ hires that doesn't align with current country needs.

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.
