Pros

Nice team of people who support each other, the people you work with really make this job. Travelling around the local area for assignments + opportunities to go further afield sometimes. Weekends off.

Cons

High turnover rates of fundraisers, most people are let go within a month as the job requires a very specific sort of person to be able to hit targets. The days are tiring and the targets are set high. You're often sent to very rundown towns in the North where people just don't have the money to give and you feel bad even asking. As you'd expect, you receive a lot of abuse from the public as you are basically the most hated person on the street at all times.

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.
