I loved my job as the Facilities Director at CYO Camps Don Bosco and Hamilton. The people at the camps were a blast to work with. Good bunch of folks. I was respected for who I am and in my position at Camps. Unfortunately the Covid-19 pandemic closed Camps for the summer and there was no season. No participants, no facility renters, no money. I was kept on for quite some time regardless of the pandemic but in the end they just couldn't financially support the staff without the revenue and all were laid off. It was a sad day and saying goodbye to the wonderful group of people at Camps was extremely emotional. If there is camp in the summer of 2021, I'm certain I will be called back and won't hesitate doing so.

While some of my co workers were the coolest and kindest people I’ve ever worked with, and I miss them daily, others in management or supervisory positions made my time there extremely detrimental to my mental well being. Extremely unfair and cruel treatment. Don’t expect cohesive feedback or expectations. A huge shame, since I genuinely enjoyed my work at first and wanted to stay there.

It is good if you don't need any actual direction. But you will be left to your own devices when things are being changed, no communication, no training. Ineffective and unneeded middle managers that don't do anything other than make your job harder. It is so bad, the job listings have been copy and pasted from old task lists, showing they don't know what is actually needed to get the job done, but not listening to the people that are in the ditches doing it that know what it needs. Look forward to being overworked and understaffed.

day to day a boring grind, but nice people for the most part. do not reward employees with any sort of trust or pay. not rewarded for creativity or ideas, actually frowned upon.
organization mismanages departments and overall structure is cumbersome and crosses over repeatedly. Pay rates are top heavy and lack advancement opportunities.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The Executive Team was the hardest working group of people I have ever worked with. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
My manager, Superintendent of Catholic Schools.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Extremely stressful. Zero grace from management on any mistakes made. Many after hours events and coordination. Very low pay for doing the workload of 3 people.

Being a part of the community and contributing to the educational and personal development of the children was very rewarding.  The appreciation given to teachers from the main office, principals, and the families themselves created a daily inspiration.  Meeting all the needs of every child was certainly a difficult task, but very definitely one that guided me each day.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing - they are not just or fair.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They expect you to do 3+ jobs with no overtime.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Not good environment - they are not just or fair in their dealings 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Too busy - too many duties to perform

Loved working for a company where there mission was to help other people. They understood the need for balance between family and work. The hardest part of the job was in my role I could not take time off between Thanksgiving and New Years but that was because of my responsibilities and not the company policy.

Working here was an eye opening experience as it was a housing project for homeless people in Seattle so it housed varies kind of people From THose With Mental Illness To Addictions. Managment Was Fair ANd Easy To Get Along With The only Real issue Was The Potential Safety Hazard From Occuants.

This place depends on your boss. Some are good others are the worst the Church has to offer. The discriminate against the mentally ill, unless that person is a priest. They pay well below market value for skill. Often employees are verbally and spiritually abused by supervisors. Keep your faith- work for the secular world.
