Pros

Trusted to be entrepreneurial and not micro managed, so largely left alone. Varied work sorting interesting bits and bobs. Volunteers are lovely!

Cons

Pros

Not much but salary was ok

Cons

very poor quality of humanitarian programs, ethics breached several times by team members under the direct leadership of CD (fake & anti-dated invoices, etc). Bullying and psychological harassment, political stands & friendships between HQ and missions leaderships/CDs. Also, culture of burn-out and no diversity at leadership.
