Pros

UNICEF certainly has name-brand recognition, and for that reason, even an unpaid internship can be prestigious and look good on the resume.

Cons

In my particular experience, I wasn't utilized to the fullest, or anywhere near the fullest, of my capabilities. In terms of skills and professional development, it was a waste of time.
