COLUMBIA HOUSING AUTHORITY

A typical day at work is interacting with families. I have learned how to commnicate, make flyers, create organizations and recruit families to particpate in different organizations. The managers make sure everyone is on  their duties. The co-workers are the ones who set the mood for the work enviornment, Columbia Housing Authority is a very friendly place. The hardest part of my job is seeing some families who dont want to get help, when the help is needed; thats the biggest challenge for me. The most enjoyable part of my job is seeing the opportunites that are given to families to better the family as an whole.  I am currently in school to become a family and marriage therapist, I am looking for a job that will push me further or give me some knowledge about working with families, which this job does. 

This place has changed. When I work here everybody treated everyone like family. Including management, who always had your back, everyone help out. It was like home away from home we had Christmas parties appreciation lunches everyone got involved to help out in the community the executive and the deputy executive always had your back always felt the way to help out in the community


Like most office jobs there is a lot of “corporate politics” at play. Coworkers and upper management are average, but willing to be flexible. The benefits are really good: pto plus two floating holidays that renew yearly, great insurance with an option to receive a Paytient card to help pay for medical expenses, and employer matching for retirement and HSA accounts. Just do your work, say nothing more than “good morning” and “good night,” and go home and it will be an amazing source of income.

I love working on my part time job as a security guard I feel that we could have had a better supervisor that took the time support us by talking with us and getting to know us and our jobs. He should have been spending more time with his staff and going to building so he could learn what was needed and saw the work that we're doing. As for our Sargents they did not have a clue as to there jobs it was just give.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The structure and training to work in a specific position.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Micromanaged, hostile work environment. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
If you aren’t already in the system, the system doesn’t apply to other employees and you need to keep your head down and get ran over. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy, lots of things to do to stay busy.

There is no typical day at the company, you work long hours as a manager and I cant speak for anyone else but I dont feel appreciated.  It's hard going to work to do something you LOVE oh so much but feel used and taken advantage of.

Good Day Typically, the management made it easy to work with very professional and respectable, encouraging and helpful. Provided that there was a position available for me after work-study I would have definitely applied. I enjoyed the opportunity to be of service to the community and work with such an awesome team.

I cook my assistant clean the maintenance work get just about anything pick up trash clean rooms clean restrooms but do a lot of detailing buffing and waxing floors dripping cleaning painting did what was it ever required for me to do very good listener very much people's person do just about anything

Always something different everyday. Working for the low income community is rewarding for the most part. The benefits packages are very well set up and the company has yearly meetings on them. Also with instructors who you can contact about issues or questions.

The hardest part was watching consumers die. When you do the job I did, it happens and if you don't prepare yourself you will experience burnout. It's rewarding work and you get to be a hero every day. But wearing the cape takes it's toll.
