Pros

Lovely community, hands-on work, friendly volunteers and staff, strong training, and lifelong Handy work skills gained after supervising construction!

Cons

Hard to advance into more independent roles, low salary as Americorps volunteer (even including $250 monthly housing Stipend Durham Habitat offered), tricky to secure full food stamp allotment (but nice when you do), and unless you want to continue construction or go back to graduate school where Public service is viewed positively, the career outlook is not fantastic.

Pros

In the beginning there was a big sense of family and being there for each other. There were also nice perks and benefits. Good healthcare.

Cons

Extremely low morale, LOW pay, and high pressure to sell despite lack of good inventory. Lots of favoritism and bad-mouthing certain employees and volunteers behind their backs. Allowing certain associates to take multiple hour breaks despite it being against the rules. Little incentives from upper management to do a good job. Upper management seems to constantly see the bad in things and not what you're doing well.
