Pros

Mission driven. Passionate about serving the homeless. Hire the homeless. People care about each other despite all the distractions and the chaos.

Cons

They chase the money. Allowing government funding to dictate and change how the org operates. Mission creep. Lack of mission integrity. Lost sight of the vision.

Pros

Clients were sometimes nice, coworkers were cool

Cons

-literally zero training… expected me to shadow coworkers for 5 months -they hired me knowing I wouldn’t have any clients for several months, so there was zero work for me to do while I was there. Asked management for some direction or extra work to do but they kept telling me to shadow. To me this just shows I was nothing but a number to fill their contract and no management -basically no room for growth -they’ll make you clean the office once a week -disregard for employees safety. A client was repeatedly threatening my Coworker but the company never did anything about it **to anyone looking to work here, do NOT waste your time. Came here fresh out of college and the experience left me completely jaded and hopeless. Originally wanted to make a difference in the world but after working at Alpha, I’ve transitioned out of social work and SO much happier! After getting a job for a company that actually cares about its employees, I am just now realizing how awful Alpha was ran.
