Pros

Overall great mission working with the families.

Cons

Management is bureaucratic and does not care for employee retention. Worked over a year, asked for accommodations and they were given but with extreme passive aggressive remarks. Felt bullied by boss to come in for no reason during the pandemic. No wonder employees only last a year or two.

Pros

Staff who want to make a change are kind, giving, and intelligent. A mission to completely believe in: affordable housing. Repair program counters gentrification around city. Great staff trainings. Rising up the ranks is possible with such high turnover.

Cons

Fast turnover because the pay is low and staff need money to live and... pay for their own housing. New young staff stay 1-2 years which is sad, they had so much hope and energy! HR is too close to leadership to recognize unfair biases and perks they are giving to each other. Important trainings are not required for all staff, a problem because the message doesn't get to those who need it. They are also never followed up on, so we act like we are improving, but are not holding each other accountable. Typical sexism of older adult men volunteers on site which is tiring to work with. Not enough staff and resources are behind a really essential department, Neighborhood Revitalization, to serve community members and advocate for affordable housing policy. AmeriCorps generally takes advantage of people 21 and over. Any younger and it feels a little better to get paid so little for experience.
