Pros

Helping those who are in need of immediate housing. Part Time with Full Time Benefits - skills learned with HAP contracts will prepare me for my future career in law.

Cons

Working here has been challenging due to several downsides. I faced retaliation from supervisors when correcting their work, and the workload and deadlines did not align with my compensation nor my work hours. Additionally, I wasn't given the opportunity to decline certain benefits, leading to further deductions from my paycheck. This experience, being one of my first initial significant jobs post-college, has left me drained and disheartened. I look forward to potential changes in management that would involve leaders who appreciate and support employees, ESPECIALLY those with degrees, rather than belittling their employees who have valuable qualifications and experience.
