Pros

The employees, work environment, and values are fantastic. This is the friendliest environment I have ever worked in, and I am sad that my term here is almost up.

Cons

The internship is unpaid. But that is standard for many non-profits.

Relaxed work environment, Friendly staff, Passionate employees, Opportunity to advocate and protest for social issues affecting millions of people around the world.

There weren't really any Cons. Working at Amnesty International, you know you are dedicating your time for the greater good, so you must be willing to accept little to no pay

Pros

Great pay, Great benefits, Great environment and people, very motivating

Cons

Their quota is problematic for me; It makes the cause about getting people to sign up so you won't go on warning instead of genuinely trying to raise money for those who need it the most.. Personally wasn't for me although there are people who maintain their quota on a weekly basis with no problem
