Pros

- Fully remote - There are some amazing people that work there - Work life balance is not bad. Some seasons are busier than others, but it’s not bad at all. - A half day on the work day preceding a federal holiday

Cons

- Disorganization, poorly constructed work flows, culture seems quite inviting upon hire, but can become quite catty down the line. I also experienced a lack of clear communication around vision / defined goals (may be just departmental, but this was my experience). Seems that there is a lot of confusion from leadership regarding processes and how new changes should be communicated to employees at large. Creates unnecessary confusion for employees that can affect the working environment. You may be told one thing one day regarding a work project, and then something completely different the next day regarding the same project. Instead of taking a holistic approach, things are often approached in a very fragmented/segmented way that can create a lot of loose ends that need to be urgently tied up down the line. Company says they are actively working on organizational and cultural challenges that they’ve had in the past (and that still persist). I hope that’s true. The pay is not that much different than any other non profit and the benefits are mid.

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Outdated systems Honestly, a pretty bad CRM system is being used but they are implementing a better one now so can't be too upset about it.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.
