Pros

-You have a direct impact on the well-being of your clients -Working in local office allows you to have impact on your immediate community -Great glimpse at what its like to work in a nonprofit

Cons

-Not a whole lot of direction given from supervisors-- a lot of my work depended on my own initiative -Sometimes work was menial, but that's to be expected in a nonprofit where the work is so critical -Unpaid, which also understandable but limited the amount of time I was able to work there since I had to hold at least one other job to support myself

Pros

its a humanitarian organization providing very essential services to persons affected by disastrous events leaving them helpless and exposed to high risks.

Cons

Career growth is limited in some departments especially for clinical officers and nurses, also TTA almost totally doesn't favour the same said. no existence of Exchange programs which may help one to have a break from the routine. By going for exchange program may help in experiencing other working environment and assessing oneself from the both side, learning still will take place and probably something good which can boost your performance. exchange of ideas in case management can be realized. Work stress can also be adequately managed on changing environment . In summary it will be motivating so much.
