Pros
Tons of autonomy. No one is breathing down your neck at Mission Housing, and our E-team will allow anyone to propose a project. This job is what you make of it. Half Days every other Friday! (Yes seriously) All positions are close to the mission and residents we serve. I used to work at a much bigger nonprofit developer and it was harder to get out of the office. Caring management. Burnout is real, and we all lived through 2020. Our management really turned a large portion of their focus inwards during the pandemic and it shows. Competitive pay. Unlimited opportunity.
Cons
Autonomy. Seriously. Some people have trouble here because you have to be a self learner and the learning curve is steep. Management gives many people a chance, but know there isn’t a easy position here, every thing in affordable housing is difficult and if you aren’t all in on the mission you will fail.
