      We're so glad you enjoy your colleagues. JDRF staff are the BEST! (Okay, we're biased... but they are definitely fun and the nicest people you'll ever meet.)

      Not a long-term career prospect

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Being involved with a good cause. Work-life balance is ok. Good people in many departments, albeit never for very long.

      Cons

      Very high turnover of good employees, both voluntary and involuntary. Two key departments in the Toronto office are run by groups of people who came from the same place. Management seems to struggle with the same problems over and over again.

      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.

      No career opportunities for minorities

      Pros

      It's a great mission and constituency

      Cons

      This organization does not embrace diversity, especially when it comes to leadership. I don't think there is even ONE African American executive director or regional director in the organization. That cannot be a coincidence. It's a cultural problem.
