Pros

Mission Housing was a great place to work; their (literal) Mission, the people they employ, the Directors & CEO/CFO + Human Resources are all lovely people with integrity and it really shows. I did only work on a short-term contract basis but had a very positive experience during that time; it shows MH celebrates their FTE employees & contractors too. Great culture and values.

Cons

None I can think of.

Pros

1. Co-workers, not anyone in the management team, truly want to help you. 2. There are many holidays off, but if you are under a contract, You won't have holiday pay!

Cons

1. Super micro management. It feels like a helicopter flies over you for eight whole working hours. 2. poor treatment of their new hires. They would only hire people through a three-party staffing company, for which there is no benefit, including no holiday pay, insurance, or PTO! They only give you paid sick leave because the law requires it. 3. No commitment and No transparency. to the employee. Your manager will constantly remind you that you are not an employee of Mission Housing. They will tell you that you should contact your staffing company; please don't contact me. Critical employment details, such as the lack of holiday pay, are not disclosed upfront. The only way to find out is when you submit a time card and your manager tells you we don't pay holidays to the contractors. Since they have several holidays, be prepared for a cut to our salary. They don't give new hires any access to their database or main office keys because, as they told me, I am not an employee of the company; I am more like a visitor. 4. It is a known issue inside the organization that employees often have to chase down their managers for months to resolve basic work-related issues—such as obtaining Wi-Fi access or office keys. Even essential details, like budget information for programs, are withheld. Employees have reported being forced to solicit in-kind donations from businesses, despite the existence of funding, simply because management prefers to save money. 5. There is a strict chain of command inside the small department. Basically, if you want to ask questions or get help from your co-workers, you have to go through your manager. If you don't, and your manager knows it, expect a reprimanding phone call. 6. Toxic and fearful environment: most of my coworkers are so afraid of the management team; one of my co-workers helped me because I was new, and the person told me not to tell anyone that I helped you; otherwise, we both would get into trouble. What kind of work environment is this??? According to my senior co-workers, this company has a huge turnout rate; I heard some positions have never been filled for a long time because people left only a few weeks. That's why they are always hiring. Also, they are known to be hard to work with, according to words from all my outside partnership friends. So, don't go there if you are desperate. But you will quit anyway as soon as two weeks unless you like being in that kind of environment and being blamed for something that is not your fault.
