      Professional but rigid grade scales

      Outreach assistant

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Providing assistance to refugees and humanitarian assistance

      Cons

      the grade scale is rigid and difficult to move up the ladder. Once you are in a specific grade level, it is hard to move up.

      Poor treatment of associates and abusive behavior from certain individuals

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      UNHCR does what it can to help their staff, but there are still abusive managers in places far from their Geneva and Copenhagen head quarters.

      Cons

      There is a lot of affiliate work force that does the same or more than the amount of work of the UNHCR staff. However, they get less benefits and have less protection. While they do the same amount, they are treated like second class citizens. Middle managers and officers are bullying and verbally abusive to staff. However, management are often powerless to stop such abuses. There has been incidences if reporting to higher ups, but perpetrators are still in the system and nothing is done about their abusive behavior. Additionally, assistants, associates, and affiliates are hesitant to speak up due to repercussions. This has already occurred in a certain office in south east Asia. Managers are never reviewed by their staff, which should be common on practice.
