HALO

Overall the day is okay, the load is reasonable.  Learned a lot from team members.  
The hardest part of the job is honestly management and being honest and realizing improvements and change. There's favoritism, certain dept can get alway with ownership and responsibilities if you are lazy enough.  Within our dept, only 1 person gets recognized for hard work even though I bought a lot to the table. The goals provided are to improve and make changes, but when changes are provided on the table for the better, it gets denied for many different reasons and excuses.  In the end, they see the root of the problem but never want to change, hence certain depts down own up to their responsibility causing more work for other team members. Everything is self-served. Conclusion - poor management and leadership.

Working at Halo can be interesting and challenging. If you like client-facing work and dealing with multiple stakeholders then this job is for you. As with any workplace, you will have some wonderful clients and some terrible ones. This is not a 9-5 job so there will be many days you will be working very late. They will tell you there are busy seasons which are usually towards the end of the year but sometimes these seasons will last way longer than they are supposed to. The work can be very hectic and you will have to deal with problems and delays from other departments which you'll get the heat for from the client. On a more positive note, the job is a good way to learn how to think on your feet, learn to work with challenges, and develop your skills as a PM. 

My day starts with collaborating with my co-workers to receive updates on clients, shelter status, and any other pertinent information. Catch up on case noting, and meet with clients to see how they are doing emotionally, and what attempts they are taking to meet their goals while in shelter. I've learned how to navigate Service Point, which is our software program that can be viewed by all Social Service Agencies.I really enjoy when we discharge clients with success stories. I realize that I can't save the world; however, what is disappointing is seeing the clients that have the ability to change their lives, and choose not to.

While working at Halo my day consisted of running the front desk which included handing out mail to participants, helping them fill out forms, doing intakes on new participants, ensuring all participants signed in for curfew. 

What i learned at Halo is how bad the homeless situation is in Racine County. I quickly discovered that individuals being released from jail or prison were simply dropped off and left to fend for themselves.

I got along well with all my coworkers and management.

The hardest part of the job was having to tell someone that they were no longer able to stay at the shelter for breaking to many house rules. The most enjoyable part of the job was watching participants find jobs and eventually move out on their own.

working only weekends on 3rd shift is very challenging here at Halo the homeless community has its up and downs I have learned many have a story to tell and most are very good people who fell on hard times I take pride on encouraging many of them to better themselves and to be encouraged to get on there feet use halo as a temporary solution to better days . Its refreshing to come in and witness many who find jobs and housing just the pride they have on there face of the accomplishment is priceless. the worst part of the job is seeing a grown may cry thinking that no one cares if he is around or not feeling defeated by bad choices and addictions .

All the things they talked about in the interview are now coming true. Business is booming, people are getting promoted, and the job is so much more interesting. Every day I talk to customers from these major brands. Before I worked here were, they were just things I bought for my house. Now I get to be behind-the-scenes on their marketing plans and I feel like part of these companies that my kids love.  

During the pandemic it wasn't fun :( Things were stressful, workload was high, and customers were on edge! But HALO added so many new roles for workload and changed out some bosses. Corporate added all this free stuff. It's like a totally new company from 6 months ago.

Halo has gone on a buying streak in recent years and gobbled up much of the competition.  Now if you aren't one of the sales "whales" you largely get ignored.  You are lucky if anyone answers your questions/issues - many of my email and vm messages are simply ignored.  I thought I had joined a team, but instead I feel isolated and completely unappreciated.
