Pros

Really enjoyed feeling like I made a difference helping people in need. Also, seeing other community outreaches helping people with drug addiction or mental illness. Very rewarding if you enjoy trying to make a difference in other people's lives and caring about each individual.

Cons

Very, very, very little pay for cleaning 8 hours of hazardous material like heroin needles, Fentanyl, human fecal matter, urine, vomit, watching people OD, seeing people's bodies literally decay from too much drug use, working in areas that have more RV's and Pitch A Tents than KOA camping, seeing American vets in now destitute situations, people in wheelchairs with missing body limbs, cleaning areas where people sleep with bed bugs, fleas and rodents; just to mention a few. However the most disgusting experience that you will have to accept to work here is employees selling drugs to the infirm homeless. Yes, there is so much work to do BUT if you have a side hustle going on, you can make a enormous amounts of money and worth the extra effort! This IS a prerequisite to work here and don't let anybody tell you otherwise. Let's be real, the amount of hazardous work you have to deal with and with little pay!? CMON!

(Yes, it is horrible to see how drug issues can affect an entire community. As well, it is a very nasty job. We make that clear in our ads as well as the job description signed at the time of hire and additionally at our very extensive training. I'm sorry that you didn't understand what Ambassadors do.) (I am sorry. I have never heard of a manager allowing drug deals to occur. In fact in my six years in my roll, I've only heard of this one time and that was years ago and in a different city. Please contact the HR Hotline and report what you've put on this platform. Also, although I thank you for your review, I'd just like to say that we have 2500 Ambassadors that work for BBB. Most, seriously would show up whether we paid them or not. They are doing this job as a true Ambassador, someone that loves people and their community. I'm sorry that you had a poor experience and really want you to report to HR Hotline. (The poster is displayed by your timeclock at all times.) Please, call. It's not to late. We value our employees and want to insure that we are providing a great place for everyone to work. (866) 343-3132.
