Pros

Everyone buys into the mission of finding a cure for type 1 diabetes. Volunteers make the place run, not the national office which is a snake pit of politics, backstabbing and low moral.

Cons

Moral is brutal at JDRF, arbitrary staff cuts, zero growth and a CEO who is utterly lost in his job. The cuts to senior staff are not tied to revenue growth, which is nonexistent, but rather to the whims of the CEO and former COO. Many very effective long term staff, some with decades of experience, have been fired in the past year because of a desire to clean house and start fresh. But these changes have not helped drive revenue.
