Pros

The supportive services wing was lovely to work with. Supportive services managers were helpful mentors and easy to work with. The benefits package is comparable to similar organizations; nothing standout. No overtime required and you can turn your phone and email off when you leave work until you come back in the next work day.

Cons

If you're looking for an organization that practices housing first and harm reduction, this is not the employer for you. Also, the structure can feel isolating; you can go months only seeing staff in your own building and your supervisor, never meeting with people in similar roles or on other teams. Upper management does not seem to value supportive services at all. There is often poor communication and organization. For example, it took weeks after hire to get a work phone, badge, etc. and months after hire to get information about required trainings. They are moving towards having supportive services employees be managed by property management, which is unethical and goes against their contracts as far as I know. There is no company-wide discussion of equity and they are not receptive to feedback in this area. There is very high turnover among property and area management and they can be hit or miss--many of them are difficult to work with. The pay is not competitive. No opportunities for advancement from case manager to other positions, as they seem to be getting rid of the supervisor and director positions that used to be directly above case managers.

Pros

It's union, Case Managers have their own offices, their is alot of self management and autonomy. Case Managers are payed a livable wage.

Cons

Managers are stretched thin between alot of sites and promotions are hard to come by, the operations management system is corrupt and covers up wrong doings by other management in operations. Dealing with operations is difficult but fortunately they're not managing case managers but it sucks to see how their staff are treated in the shelter. Theirs not alot of growth opportunities for shelter staff and minimal training often just online moduals. Alot of sites have this weird mentality about not handing out narcan so that people don't think it's a hub for narcan. Absolutely crazy to be a low barriers shelter that had to fight to even have narcan on-site let alone needle containers. The operations manage brought his best friend to work who knew our clients it was a hippa violation and wildly uncomfortable. mold in the building is so bad multiple staff have developed a cough that won't go away.
