Pros

Meaningful cause with passionate volunteers and fundraisers. You have the opportunity to meet and develop wonderful relationships with families who are directly connected to Type 1 Diabetes--best part of the job!

Cons

On a local level there is no direct guidance or training--expected to learn your job through PowerPoints trainings which isn't realistic. Executive Director does not know how to train you for your position and will micro-manage staff. IT and reporting that is available for staff use falls far behind industry standards making it impossible to provide accurate information and analysis to superiors and board members--they are unaware. Stroking the egos of board and committee members comes before the wants and needs of the families served. In my experience, there is a persistent pattern of mistreatment and bullying from others in the workplace preventing you from effectively doing your job.
