HopeWorks

I was very disappointed that the Church of Christ but their stamp of approval on how the leadership treats employees of color. They apply rules at their discretion and diversity is there but no real inclusion. The culture does not celebrate diversity nor does it cultivate unity. 
The focus is serving the donors and making things look good to donors even if it’s not true. The CEO and COO are not governed and allowed to treat employees as dispensable without any real governance from the board of directors. It’s a big organization that operates like a mom and pop organization.  They have the possibility to be a real witness as a a faith based organization. It needs to do an overhaul on the leadership and bring in some fresh leadership that understands the value of diversity and inclusion and can create a culture for teamwork and unity.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working for HopeWorks was feeling like the work you were doing was genuinely making a difference in someone's life. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It's a challenging population. People choose not to take their medications or engage in treatment, people are actively using substances, sometimes they're hostile or aggressive, so there can be a lot of challenges.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
When I left the work environment was extremely toxic and unhealthy. I've heard that they have made some changes in upper management, and coworkers that are still there have said things are improving, and I hope that is true.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It depends on the role you're in, but for most front line staff you can expect to be busy your whole shift interacting with and helping your clients.

A typical day at Hopeworks involved hard work, but the environment was incredibly supportive throughout. I learned to communicate effectively, stepping out of my comfort zone and breaking out of my shell. The management was exceptional—my boss felt like a best friend, and the higher-ups were kind, smart, and encouraging. The workplace culture was collaborative and positive, making it a pleasure to work with my coworkers. The most enjoyable part was giving presentations and connecting with others. While the challenge of adapting to a more communication-focused role was tough, it was an invaluable growth experience.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Interacting with the clients, we have people to help someone at Ground Zero

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not being able to help everyone

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
if you can work independently and you’re strong, this job is for you. The environment is what you make it. The culture is all New Mexico.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I help clients navigate simple task. I collaborate with more than 50 clients a day whether it’s a simple hello or filling out some type of paperwork to accomplish a goal.

My experience with Hopeworks has been extremely positive. The organization provides valuable learning opportunities, hands-on experience, and a supportive environment for professional growth. The team is welcoming, knowledgeable, and always willing to help participants develop both technical and professional skills. The programs are well-structured and focus on preparing individuals for real-world careers. I especially appreciate the mentorship, career guidance, and commitment to helping participants succeed.

The sky's the limit at HopeWorks.  No idea is too big or too small.  Leadership listens, and they include staff in decision-making.  There is a degree of transparency and authenticity that is unmatched.  I feel valued and appreciated, and there are ample opportunities for promotion.  Staff development and incentives are important. 
 Innovative ideas aren't just discussed; they are implemented.  The mission is inspiring and fulfilling.  I've never worked at an organization like this before.  

I love HopeWorks!  There are several programs that help people in the city of Memphis.  The Adult Education department teaches adults that want their high school equivalency diploma.  The English as a Second Language department teaches English to immigrants.  The Workforce Department helps those that need help finding jobs. Case managers are on staff to serve the many needs of our clients.  If your heart is with helping others this is a great place to work!

Great place to work but suffers from the problem of all nonprofits - decentralized leadership which often led to stagnate decision making coming from the top down. In times of emergency this proved to be a pain point, as worker safety was not taken accordingly in a timely matter. 

There are several departments, but as a GIS intern I mostly did data entry with one or 2 mapping projects. It was fun, simple and the pay is pretty good especially considering they're not obligated to do so.

Working here, the place is all good. It's pretty professional, and it's very great. They put you as a trainee before an associate/intern. As a Trainee you'll go through many modules. Until portfolio which will get you into your internship. And then in your internship you'll be put into either GIS, Training Room and or Web Development team. Then you'll have 6 months to find a full-time job!
