Community Action Partnership of San Luis Obispo

Overall the company is ok, but the management on this location is horrible. Funny thing I seen someone else rate it and by the descriptive it seems to be the same location. Supervisor has her best friend working with her and allows her to be influenced by her, and she has her favorites those who will cover for her, and will go out drink with her and others after hours. She interviewed family member and allowed to work in the dame location without letting upper management know. The work environment is hostile and it feels as walking on eggs shells. In other to advance you must be friend with the supervisor or really have a good background to back you up to grow in the company.However, as the other rating suggested upper management from the main corporation in SLO should do random visits and interview people that have felt attacked or be-little at one point during work hours by supervisor or lead teachers.

Working here means being part of a team that truly cares about making a difference. The programs are well-structured and impactful, and there's a strong emphasis on community engagement. However, like many non-profits, resources can be tight, and the demand for services often exceeds capacity. Despite these challenges, the organization is transparent about its operations and continually seeks ways to improve.

There is a great work life balance and management is passionate about rewarding their employees and showing recognition. 

Overall, CAPSLO is a rewarding place to work if you’re passionate about helping others and committed to community development.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working with the participants and seeing how resilient humans can be. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Operating with a barebones staff who are taken advantage of and forced to work double shifts 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hostile towards participants and clique, total mean girl vibes. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful, physically, mentally , and emotionally demanding. They talk a good game about self-care being one of their core values, but in reality they work you 80+ hours a week and don’t allow any time or incentives for you to be able to practice self-care.

If you take this job except to do the work of at least 3 people. Very good staff here because they care for people. However, the Deputy Directors are micro managers. Allot of people are afraid to take breaks & eat at their desks. Community Action Partnership wants to appear like they care for their employees, bottom line they don’t. They control people by threatening their jobs which are impossible. The only people I met that likes their jobs were not working directly for families. The energy savings program was the only soild program.

Many good caring people work for this organization, none of them being the decision makers who head the organization.  The administration puts the organization and their own personal needs, wants, and preferences ahead of  the needs of their staff, programs and most especially the homeless families and individuals themselves.

Fantastic internship experience all staff members were always helpful and patient, my supervisor modeled and guided every step of the way for me and I learned so much. Everyone is so dedicated to the mission statement, which basically states to teach a person to fish so that they may provide for themselves and to advocate for those who cannot, community is very lucky to have the homeless shelter and the day center.

The overall company management was poor but the direct management in each facility was amazing. They made working in that type of high stress environment easy and worth it. We were the definition of overworked and underpaid. Extremely long hours and in order to make it in this position, you must genuinely want to help the homeless and make a difference otherwise it's so easy to get burnt out.

If you ever want to work for this company think twice. The management plays favorites and family is allowed to work together, which makes it not right due to conflict of interest. There you are left alone if you are friends with the site supervisor or her best friends. Many fishy things happen specially at a center located in Sunset Camp. Upper management should do surprise visits and interview everyone. The culture atmosphere is horrible.

They need much more improvement on there leaderships and some teaching staff as well. Corporate office is in San Luis Obispo and the centers are in Bakersfield, Delano and shafter and they leave all the responsibilities to the center directors and when issues happen that need help from administrative office they try to clean their duties by back firing thins to the centers.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The pay is very low and there is no raises

A typical day was a little hectic but would go by fast
