Pros

Most people are dedicated to the mission and willing to do what ever it takes to get things done.

Cons

Bureaucratic org, so things take a long time to be approved. Volunteers can be cliquey. Almost impossible to move up unless your direct manager leaves.

Pros

Even though JDRF has been going through a very difficult time over the past few weeks, the staff and volunteers have been able to come together to develop strategies for success in spite of the current crises. We are a family at JDRF and truly are #StrongerTogether. Thanks to our CEO Aaron Kowaski and CTO Sri Mishra for their vision and leadership during this time. Our Technology department has done an outstanding job making our transition to work from home as smooth and seamless as possible. They've given the chapter staff the necessary tech tools such as new laptops, calendar, MS Teams and much more to help us with our every day fundraising efforts and we are seeing many great outcomes because of this. Thank You Aaron, Sri and the rest of our leadership team!

Cons

I think chapters would achieve greater levels of success if they were able to make event/fundraising decisions on a local level instead of relying on the huge National Events team which often slows down chapters.
