      Poor management, wasted resources & false values

      Fundraising coordinator

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Salary sacrifice, tax benefits Culture allows unproductive individuals to hide in org structure

      Cons

      Blatant, unapologetic contradiction of company values across all levels Organisation is satisfied to maintain and continue as it has always been Managers lack people and management skills Organisation does not listen to or value employees Productive ideas and business acumen will lead to termination - culture of "No one do anything and we'll all get paid"

      Pros

      As with most organizational restructures, there are those resistant to change but those who have been adaptable and have vision for the reasons behind the restructure have excelled. There are still some refinements to be done, but I truly believe JDRF is working towards a collaborative and supportive work environment. The current staff who work in the Vancouver office will win your hearts over. They are passionate, fun, resilient, and have strong work ethic. The driving force behind this small but mighty team is their dedication to the work that JDRF does for the type 1 community. JDRF is determined to find a cure for this disease; there is a reason why JDRF is the leading national charitable funder of diabetes research in Canada.

      Cons

      Work-life balance is an issue, but they are working on making it a priority.

      Please note JDRF Canada is a separate entity from JDRF International. Our organizations are valued partners in the worldwide effort to turn Type 1 into Type None. Each international affiliate has its own structure and its own CEO.
