Pros

Ability to excercise your ceeativivity, relationships formed with the residents, location close to home, at first an encouraging supervisor until another one took their place, learning new tasks and things

Cons

the lack of ongoing training beyond required in areas where one could use extra help in running their respective SITES,, discouragement from supervisory team to work with property management which if you let it fosters resentment on both sides which residents pick up on, the reliance on getting volunteers to help yet limited to what they can help with, the time it takes for finance to go through all the steps before they issue a check, the harsh criticisms when something doesn't go quite right rather than pointing out what went right, and not truly listening to the SSC feedback and suggestions to implement them at the specific sites that has proved to work instead of the guidelines that must not be wavered from., limited budget Read the job descriptions carefully before sending your resume.

Pros

I’ve worked as a social services director at The Tower of Kuhio Park for 6 years and perhaps the thing I like most about the job is that no day is ever the same. I serve a resident population of close to 3,000 representing 26 different cultures, and work with dozens of service providers to help meet the needs of this low-income, predominately Pacific Islander population. It’s exciting and fulfilling work, and yes, it is sometimes stressful. It is a job for someone whose biggest reward is serving others.

Cons

In 2013, social services program at the Towers and 90-some other low-income housing developments across the nation was aptly brought under 501 (c) (3) status and renamed Better Tomorrows. While the transition seemed an adjustment for some who’ve written somewhat negative reviews here in Glassdoor, I had worked for non-profit organizations for many years prior and understood that according to federal law, the structure of NPO has to be much different than a business. NPOs have to be accountable to their funders to be successful, and Better Tomorrows has artfully created standards that set it among the top in the nation.
