Pros

1) 9/80 schedule. Work 9 hours days and get every other Friday off. 2) LAFH pays slightly more than other homeless services agencies.

Cons

CEO is a power hungry authoritarian. Chief Programs Officer doesn't follow LAHSA guidance and makes questionable decisions. Lots of ethical concerns. LAFH takes funders money and does what they want with the money and creates positions out of no where. The departmental structures are awful as well. Departments are not program based but task-based. Ineffective communication across departments that are VERY dependent (too dependent) on each other to house participants. Participants constantly fall through the cracks. Monthly all staff meetings are useless at best, degrading/humiliating at worst. LAFH has a conservative culture compared to other homeless services agencies, probably due to it being in the Valley.

HR surveillance is kind of intense for the role Low pay (even if it's competitive for the field - it's still not good) Zero WFH flexibility The nature of the work is difficult - changing landscape, huge responsibility and heavy emotional labor
