Cons

As a staff you will encounter difficulties, mostly in a risk situations. Sometimes from refugees/IDPs themselves. Sometimes from the government local authorities.

Pros

Good benefits, you really do help people

Cons

Human Resources takes a highly specialized approach to talent management. In that you cannot really change functions easily in UNHCR. You have to hyper-specialize in one area. So if you are a protection staff, you tend to burn out from trauma without an internal mechanism to alleviate the burnout. The higher you go in UNHCR, the crazier you become.
