Pros

Flexible working conditions, vacation is decent. Not the worst pay (still below average)

Cons

No room for professional growth, if you want to use your brain don't bother going to work here. Its run by a series of leadership professionals who have failed up (essentially those that couldn't hack it at their current level but somehow got hired into positions way out of their league)

Worst job I've ever had

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The committee we had was very passionate about the cause.

Cons

Poorly managed from the top down. We were verbally and physically harassed and intimidated by our bosses for more than a year and sought our a lawyer before JDRF took action. Most of the staff was under 30 and we were in the beginning of our careers and didn't know that this behavior was not normal. Absolutely scarred from the experience. Unfortunately, the chapter has been run into the ground and most of the donors have begun donating to JDRF national or ADA.
