      Pros

      It is a great happiness when you can help some people to get a better life or to safe someone's life.

      Cons

      It could be very stressful to work and live in a remote area without any entertaining places that we used to i.e. cinema, shopping malls, etc. Due to limitations, it always happened that we cannot find the best solutions for refugees and it can be depressed and sad.

      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.
