Pros
Provides Affordable Housing to communities and individuals who need it. Their REFUSAL to compensate employees for responsibilities resulted in my termination from the company which was the BIGGEST PRO because I am truly happy & enjoy going to work EVERYDAY! My new Manager isn't MISERABLE AND DOESNT SAP my Joy!!! Thank you Interstate !
Cons
Pay to Workload Ratio are NOT equivalent. I was hired as Pt assistant, scheduled at 15 hours a week initially. The site only had 4 employees, 2 of whom were FT (Site Manager/Maintenance Supervisor) & 2 Pt (Front Office Assistant/Maintenance Technician) AND they knew the site was in dire NEED of ADDITIONAL Staff including: another maintenance technician OR upgrade the pt Tech to Ft. They refused AND instead work who they have to the point of breaking. My job was to ASSIST the site manager however they NEEDED a Assistant Manager & Additional office worker BUT again refused. DEMANDED and subsequently kept adding responsibilities to MY "job description" without asking me first. The Human Resources Department is PRO COMPANY NOT EMPLOYEE which happens EVERYWHERE BUT they wouldnt even assist in areas for employees they should have like whistle blowing, concerns, etc. THEY CONTINUED to be Pro EMPLOYER. Before I left I was Assistant Manager, Office Assistant, and Secretary KEPT at 30 hours JUST UNDER FT so I received NO benefits AND KEPT me at the pt hourly office assistant wage. I was denied more hours & a raise to commensurate with the work I WAS DOING! The fact the responsibility fell to me was an indication they were FULLY aware the positions were NEEDED and even admitted they were after I spoke to them regarding it. I received NO Benefits, NO holiday pay, None of the benefits afforded the procrastinating Site manager who only worked 5 hours MORE a week than me. After 4 years I had enough and spoke with them regarding my current responsibilities laying them out in a clear and concise manner, asking for AGAIN the pay and benefits to REFLECT the responsibilities I DID not ask for BUT was given & THEY DECLINED! NEVER RECEIVED A WRITE UP/& ALWAYS GOT MY MEASLY RAISE YET they wanted to CONTINUE to pay me CONSIDERABLY LESS than what they would HAVE to pay someone hired as Asst. Manager. They pushed , so I pushed back & they terminated me for it! I received my unemployment because it was a load of BS, even the Dept. labor concluded so. It ended up being BEST thing behind being a parent that ever happened to me BECAUSE NOW I am in a position I LOVE, WITH CO WORKERS I LOVE sitting in an office working LESS hours MAKING a CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT MORE !!!
