Maravilla Foundation

My experience with this organization was disappointing. During my time there, the workload continually increased, with new responsibilities being added without corresponding pay increases or recognition. I was also frequently micromanaged by the office supervisor, which made it difficult to work independently. The constant stress often followed me home, making it difficult to disconnect from work.

Unfortunately, it also felt like constructive feedback or suggestions for improvement were not welcomed. Questioning policies or procedures could result in feeling intimidated or singled out rather than supported. Management frequently introduced additional rules that were inconsistent, making it challenging to perform the job confidently.

There was also a lack of accountability among some employees, with certain individuals consistently not carrying their share of the workload, which placed additional stress on others.

As a nonprofit organization, I expected to see greater investment in frontline staff. Instead, while upper management appeared to receive regular salary increases, intake specialists saw little opportunity for meaningful raises or career advancement. If you’re looking for an entry-level position to gain experience or build your résumé, this may serve that purpose. However, if you’re seeking long-term growth, competitive compensation, or a supportive work environment, I would recommend exploring other opportunities.

Work was overwhelming because it seems like they did not do a proper assessment of work-load  to employee ratio correctly.... most are overworked and underpaid. I started with $12 an hour as in intaker, but later learned intakers are supposed to get paid at least $15.... 
Work environment is what bothered me was right when I started the job....HR made it clear the chain of command, but my supervisor told me that I shouldn't "step on anyones toes" I feel like the that was her way of telling me not to go over her head. I later on discovered that it was put into many of the employees head to keep their head down and just do what theyre told. The company seems like they're very outdated and isn't open to change. 
I ultimately left because I had a panic attack and cried in the restroom, the employees consoled me and I felt like it was better to cut ties because it wouldn't have been worth it to stick it out for this company.

The job requires you to check in at a central warehouse and travel to anywhere within 100 mile radius from warehouse. Although there is a support system available to help with anything you might encounter on the field it will NOT be there for you. If your van breaks down 80 miles away from the warehouse the support system will tell you to call a tow truck and return to warehouse then return to your destination. If a tool breaks down on you and you need a replacement you will be told "figure it out with what you have" even if that means sawing lumber with a hammer drill. You will be on your own.

The job Itself is already stressful so imagine coming to work every single day and being in drama ! Or imagine coming to work knowing someone is going to pick on you ! It was a nightmare if it wasn’t for the good this organization does for low income families I swear to god I’d love to see them get shut down. They do not deserve to be in business but the program has helped many people . I personally have helped over 1,000 families but that’s neither here nor there ! Be ready to be ignored by HR and upper management with any complaints . Oh and there is absolutely no room for growth here unless you’re a favorite . 

Overall Maravilla Foundation is a very good company. They work with the Gas company and Edison. On helping low income families with energy saving appliances. Working there is awesome from my co-workers to Management. Work can get intense out in the field. Working in different family homes can be a pain. My personal experience is awesome.   Personal things happen in life. From kids getting sick to accidents to deaths. I never had any problems asking for T.P.O.

If my pay rate was like the rest of the Installers I would not be looking for a new job.

Pay and Benefits are really bad here . HR is no help any worries, complaints or issues HR will not resolve the problem but will work with management to find a way to get rid of you instead.You cannot speak your mind or complain because it will get you fired.  Management is horrible if they don’t like you they will find any way to get rid of you.Was there for many years real waste of time. Great thing I left! You feel 💯 better when you get out!You are more likely to get into a car accident trying to beat the highlighter ! Yes highlighter (priority in the mornings) instead of a good morning .

Learned other areas of management that has helped me become a better manager. Each day was full of things to do from dealing with customer. Dealing with suppliers when delivery were not on schedule. Reschuling staff to meet daily work load requirements. As management it never is easy to inform crews we are cutting back due to being work reduction. It is great to see a customer get their new refrigerator and or a room cooler installed, in their home with out any cost to them.

Management hides things from you or lies to you, unrealistic deadlines for houses. Asked to take a shorter lunch to advance on project and stay late with out overtime pay. Micromanage every move you make. No room for growth. Pushes you to do things their way and not follow safety rules. Not allowed to leave jobsite to get lunch, not provide restrooms or place to get water in the mornings. They expect you to carry the older employees who have been there years and cannot figure out their paperwork. all in all not a great place to work, stay away from the lead department.

do not expect any sort of benefit, it is a contract job, so absolutely no insurance, 401k or time off paid, the culture is likeable not much time spent at  the office other then dropping off applications and checking mailbox.... for rejected files, they do not pay a stipend for the gas you use to arrive to clients, no matter how far . the pay is fair 90-125 per file, no taxes are taken out so if your like me with no children ..... good luck at the end of the year paying back taxes~

The employees bypass errors just to get numbers. Then get mad if u catch the error and have to give the work bk to them to fix. No one is a team player seems like everyone just does the basic effort. They know nothing about one another's work so can't help each other if they're out sick.
