Shelter case manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

What it was worth it was an OK job. But dealing with clients is tough. They were pretty flexible and I was there and the heart of Covid.

Cons

Some of the staff there were pretty unqualified and borderline creepy. You had to watch out for the staff more than you had to watch out for the clients..

Pros

There is no manner of communication to allow me to properly support my peers and other individuals I supervise within my role.

Cons

Everything, I have worked here for over a decade and I do not see if anything is going to change unless the whole organization is going to change.
