Great Place to work and good people to work with! - Housing Specialist-Technical Assistant Cooperative Development Institute Employee Review

Creative opportunity to empower people

People work is always challenging

I have been with CDI for 3 years and it has been a great team to work with and we are doing powerful work together. We are given a lot of creative freedom and respect. We have a skilled team of people that bring different experiences and backgrounds into the organization. Our work makes a meaningful difference in the lives of our clients by creating space for them to take on cooperative ownership of a business.

Working remotely can be challenging for some people as it can limit the in-person connections that you have with co-workers, but we often spend a lot of time with clients and have at least two staff retreats a year. There is so much to learn about the work and the organization, which can be daunting at first, but there is a strong focus on learning and professional development.
