      Horrible work environment, moral lower than I've ever seen at any organization.

      Pros

      Everyone buys into the mission of finding a cure for type 1 diabetes. Volunteers make the place run, not the national office which is a snake pit of politics, backstabbing and low moral.

      Cons

      Moral is brutal at JDRF, arbitrary staff cuts, zero growth and a CEO who is utterly lost in his job. The cuts to senior staff are not tied to revenue growth, which is nonexistent, but rather to the whims of the CEO and former COO. Many very effective long term staff, some with decades of experience, have been fired in the past year because of a desire to clean house and start fresh. But these changes have not helped drive revenue.

      Work for the mission, not the culture

      Pros

      Amazing mission and excellent work life balance. They leave you alone if you are getting your work done.

      Cons

      Very political and difficult to work through red tape. They are still behind the curve when it comes to a clear business mentality of fundraising. Hard to change old ways.
