High Staff Turnover For A Reason

Anonymous employee

Pros

Core mission to provide supportive housing to homeless and at risk individuals is wonderful. Great co-workers. Some of the nicest people you will meet in a workplace

Cons

Salaries are not competitive even for non-profit. High turn-over. Cliquish upper management. Management does not appreciate entry level staffers who put in extra hours. The organization has lost its vision to provide housing to at-risk people. It is more focused on doing Affordable rent-ups for luxury developers to earn fees, than moving people into apartments who need supportive housing. Company has taken on more third-party projects than they were ready for. The compliance and leasing teams are overwhelmed. People work 10 to 12 hours daily trying to reach goals that are unrealistic with the current staffing and organization. Management scape-goats others to save face. Don’t expect supervisors to have your back.

Pros

Good benefits and the ability to do a lot of good

Cons

Clique-ish culture, poor supervision, (personally) discouraging doing outreach when I'm not working or on the clock, working with people who are not passionate about helping homeless individuals and who can be racist

The salary isn't the most competitive , it seems to trend on the lower end for most positions. No Self Directed Options with retirement savings
