Housing Authority

The only positive about working for the Housing Authority is it falling under the "umbrella" of the City of Milwaukee and therefore receiving the benefits of a City employee.  Otherwise, the management is completely out of control.  HR does not follow guidelines of standards in the "real world", allowing fraud such as employees using city credit cards to purchase personal items.  Ideas to improve processes are completely ignored and shunned.  Best not to even accept a position with this entity until the "long-timers" are gone.  The entire management crew needs to be replaced.  Finally, being hired for application support does not mean lifting and moving heavy furniture, and chasing around to remote buildings.  About 1% of the time there, application support was the duty at hand.

I would recieve my work the night before via email. So I would already know what my day would look like. The hardest part of the job would have been not being compiciated for your gas and mileage on your car. When I started this job gas was at an all time high and my job required me to travel daily, but I enjoyed meeting new people and networking. Once I was finished with all my inspections I was finished for the day. That was a great feeling!

The council and I set around a table and we talk about benefits we can give to the kids so they won't make a bad choice. I learned that there are different and safer ways of spending your time. The management treats us like adults not like just kids and I like that. My co-workers are my friends and we talk to each other and we don't fight over who gets to speak first. The hardest part about the job is finding ways to make the community. The best part is getting to work around people I like and getting y ideas out there.

My job had its ups and downs. I enjoyed learning new skills and helping the residents when they had maintenance problems. Most of them were appreciative. Most tenants were clean...and a lot were very nasty. Sometimes it was hard to walk in a home and see it's condition and know that children lived there. The children and the elderly who lived there were my main concern cause some could not do for themselves.
