      Pros

      Ultimately the biggest pro of working at JDRF (that of it being a medical NPO) becomes also the biggest con. The mission is noble and the volunteers are often great.

      Cons

      Pay stinks. It's a recent grad mill. No or little advancement opportunities. Feels like the money push always edges out the mission driven work. Most money does not go directly to cure so you feel often disengenious with donors.

      Great mission -- management needs improvement

      Pros

      The organization has a great mission, and they try to offer competitive salaries & benefits. The volunteers are passionate about the mission, which helps balance the cons a bit. The mission-centric thinking makes up for a lot of the dysfunction in management.

      Cons

      Instability at the top leads to uncertainty throughout the organization. The most recent CEO, who was just replaced in July, had almost single-handedly destroyed any shred of morale left among employees in the national office. (Something like 30+ people were fired in his last few months.) Hopefully the new/interim CEO will be able to do some triage, salvage any remainder of morale, and then start the difficult process of rebuilding trust in the leadership of the organization.

      Great cause, mediocre organization.

      Pros

      Everyone at JDRF values the need to find a cure for T1D.

      Cons

      There is absolutely no transparency. Employees are often confused by what is going on in the organizational structure, with policies and procedures, etc. If you ask too many questions you're considered insubordinate. If you don't ask enough you're "dropping the ball." The turnover rate is high. There are too many egos in leadership.
