Pros

The mandate of the organization is clear and aims to protect refugees and promote their rights in the countries where they are hosted. It is satisfying to know that a difference can be made.

Cons

Very bureaucratic, top-down structure, where decisions from headquarters are sometimes not appropriate for field-based situations. This can get frustrating for people on the ground. Requires to spend time in dangerous areas before moving to more comfortable places.
