Pros
The mission is a worth while mission in a high priced housing market that generally has a low wage based structure due to its dependency on service level employment Good benefits and salaries You will meet and become friends with some very hard working and diligent co-workers
Cons
Very high turnover, The CEO has an open door policy but it is simply a guise for gathering negative information on staff. Expect if you are asked by the CEO to express negative opinions about your co-workers that they are being asked the same questions about you. Never openly challenge or be openly dissatisfied with the decisions of senior management particularly the CEO You may be verbally chastised and demeaned in public should you express an opinion that isn't accepted by the CEO There is little staff development - it is a sink or swim environment Staff terminations often take place in the middle of the day despite the openly expressed opinion of staff that this policy be changed to end of day. Speak with ex Homewise employees about the culture before taking a position here Research common problems and issues in non profits that have been managed by the same CEO for decades
