Pros

Wonderful people that truly care about the cause. UNICEF does amazing work globally.

Cons

UNICEF Canada has a toxic, hostile work culture where harassment and bullying are not addressed. Not able/willing to accommodate employees with disabilities. Mandated return to work and moving away from hybrid/remote options. Leadership lacks strategy. They set unrealistic goals with no real plan to accomplish them. Canadian CEO is new and fully out of her depth. Very high turnover and generally unhappy staff.

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.
