Pros
UNHCR does what it can to help their staff, but there are still abusive managers in places far from their Geneva and Copenhagen head quarters.
Cons
There is a lot of affiliate work force that does the same or more than the amount of work of the UNHCR staff. However, they get less benefits and have less protection. While they do the same amount, they are treated like second class citizens. Middle managers and officers are bullying and verbally abusive to staff. However, management are often powerless to stop such abuses. There has been incidences if reporting to higher ups, but perpetrators are still in the system and nothing is done about their abusive behavior. Additionally, assistants, associates, and affiliates are hesitant to speak up due to repercussions. This has already occurred in a certain office in south east Asia. Managers are never reviewed by their staff, which should be common on practice.
