Housing Authority of the City of Austin Reviews

Pros

Flexibility with hours, serving the community,

Cons

The pay rate is okay, but is worth it if you are there for the purpose.

Pros

They have a good company culture and are always doing activities that involve all employees, a lot of lunches, half-days on Fridays, and generally nice people. Great insurance.

Cons

Pay is very low for cost of living and for work performed. Expect a 30 cent raise MAX after one year. Slow to promote. Need to be ok with earning a low wage for a while with this company.

Pros

Friendly Staff, A lot of learning opportunity.

Cons

I didn't give it a 5 stars because although it was a good experience and learned a lot some upper management doesn't take the time to know you or even speak to you unless they're telling you what to do. Others also think because you're interning you should be their intern to and give you work that isn't in your duties.

Pros

An open-door policy for all of management and operations, which allows for any concerns or new ideas to be communicated. IT Management is always open for innovative ideas to improve current technologies and stay current with the latest trends and best practices.

Cons

Contractors do not have access to the gym and do not have access to the office on non-regular workdays.

Pros

The residents are amazing. A lot of freedom to create events and programming. It's rewarding to see people get GEDs and go to college and do well.

Cons

Management is terrible. Lack of vision, guidance. Overworked- I had three properties and over 500 residents that could contact me for anything at any moment. Very stressful.

Pros

Excellent Mission, Decent Pay, Great Benefits

Severely Over-worked...constantly burnt out - have not one ounce of energy at day's end - serious lack of communication, thought to be a robot w/out a life, must not mix/mingle w/co-workers, very depressing, and stressful.
