Pros

Highly passionate, experienced and talented peer colleagues; worthwhile mission

Cons

No other work environment has so compromised my faith in humanity. Corruption (unethical fundraising practices, cronyism, abusive leadership styles) in top leadership. Absolutely rock-bottom climate and culture, causing many employees serious mental health disturbances. No clear, equitable pathways to career development or advancement. Gross failure to recognize the immense talent of staff and retain it - more than ten employees left or were senselessly fired over the course of one year. Severely inefficient business practices across multiple departments. This Habitat affiliate is operating far below its capacity to fulfill mission of assisting community members in need, despite passionate and highly talented employees in bottom half of organization hierarchy. Take your talent elsewhere, where it will be utilized properly and you will be respected.

Pros

In the beginning there was a big sense of family and being there for each other. There were also nice perks and benefits. Good healthcare.

Cons

Extremely low morale, LOW pay, and high pressure to sell despite lack of good inventory. Lots of favoritism and bad-mouthing certain employees and volunteers behind their backs. Allowing certain associates to take multiple hour breaks despite it being against the rules. Little incentives from upper management to do a good job. Upper management seems to constantly see the bad in things and not what you're doing well.
