Terrible place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

Helping make a difference for T1D families

Cons

This was one of the worst companies I have ever worked at. Right from the top, the company valued the wrong thing, longevity over skill, appearances over action. It was a toxic, poorly run terrible place to work and the best decision ever made to leave there.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good intentions, and although short on help - hard working staff.

Cons

Lack of leadership & respect in the office. E.D. makes their own hours, & Bad mouths staff, board members, donors & volunteers behind their back. Staff is catty and will out right ignore other staff members. If corporate knows, they don't care. So there is lots of turnover.
