Pros

Habitat is truly making a difference to people around the world. Being a part of it is often inspiring. You can leave the office at night proud that you've helped people. There is often great camaraderie among Habitat employees, especially if you are involved with the work of affiliates, international offices, or volunteer in the field.

Cons

There are a lot of employees who are Habitat 'lifers' and many of these hold senior positions in the company - This contributes to a stale and often restrictive work environment where newer employees with bright ideas rarely get the support or encouragement to expand. There is a culture of 'safety' and a low tolerance for change.

Pros

Cheap stuff and all that

Cons

Where to even begin? Unsafe work environment, terrible management that can't make sure volunteers are doing things safely and efficiently, I got injured on the job then got fired for getting injured and they tried to play it like it was because (and here's the kicker) first they said I was cussing (which I did say the f word when I was cleaning out my cut because our supervisor had us do something that was unsafe) then backpedaled and said it was because I hung up on the HR rep, Marissa, because she kept giving me the run around and I got tired of it. They fired me to cover themselves after someone got hurt. Dana, the head of HR, kept telling me "Habitat is an at will employer so they don't need a reason to fire anyone" if you're looking for a job? Don't look at any of the Denver Habitat for Humanity listings (any of the stores in the Denver metro area) it's not worth your time
