Pros

Good benefits, flexible hours. Good mission seeking to serve a growing community of people with diabetes.

Cons

Like the title suggests, does anyone know what is going on here? Management doesnt. Staff doesn't. Volunteers are clueless. This place has been going dow hill steadily since I started. From mismanagement of funds, to layoffs, to restructuring... we were promised a whole new organization and what we've gotten is chaos, pressure, and a revolving door for staff. New hires leave within months, old employees have jumped ship. The restructure has only left all of trying to figure out who does what and how to get there. Every meeting has become a pressure cooker to churn new ideas with no thought towards implementation. And how are we paying for all these new VPs and Chiefs when we are constantly losing revenue. Get it together, ADA.

Pros

- Positive and friendly team - Strong management - Employees are incredibly smart and hardworking. Everyone works together for the success of the mission. - Mission is amazing and it feels good to support those who are fighting diabetes.

Cons

- As with many nonprofits, there are never enough resources. We're always making due with what we can, - Because we are a large org, sometimes it's difficult to maintain communications across departments.

Pros

Easy onboarding For my department, it was a very smooth onboarding experience with clearly structured videos and trainings. As with any onboarding, it is tedious and you don't necessarily retain all of it but I understand why it's required. Decent salary Can confidently say that they will absolutely negotiate pay and will even work with you to find a salary that fits expectations. WFH As someone who has become accustomed to working from home, the flexibility is appreciated and welcomed. The company does like to see teams get together in person and encourages in-person meetings but seems to understand there are limitations.

Cons

Outdated systems Honestly, a pretty bad CRM system is being used but they are implementing a better one now so can't be too upset about it. Poor organization of centralized saved files Biggest complaint by far is how erratically centralized files are saved such as examples of emails/ outreach, access to other markets' files, or the outdated statistics and company info. There is no rhyme or reason for where important documents are saved and how to access them.
