MidPen Housing Corporation

MidPen properties are in bad disrepair. Execs take pictures in front of newly developed buildings and post them on social media. However, they should visit their older sites once in a while,  see the state they are in and talk to residents. The frontline teams are always blamed for everything, although they do not have control over many decisions or budgets. MidPen does not emphasize industry certifications, so most people working there are inept. Starting salaries are low and annual increases are a joke. For the hourly, frontline workers increases are typically under one dollar. LOL. There are no merit increases and no incentives or rewards. If you are a good worker, they’ll reward you with more work. Typically, more competent site managers and maintenance techs are exploited by having to manage additional properties, because MidPen can’t fill open positions. Taking on additional properties and responsibilities is not compensated or rewarded in any way. This makes frontline workers resentful and unmotivated. In general, MidPen’s culture is rotten and there is a lack of integrity and transparency. Managers/Directors that oversee portfolios and regions are always trying to operate in the gray area, and twist rules however it suits them, just as long as they can protect themselves. Then there's this whole mess around hire-ups sleeping with subordinates and not even taking any effort to hide it. That’s just gross. If you are considering MidPen as your next employer, I would not recommend the property management department. Their development department seems great and other departments are probably ok. If you do get into their property management department, use it as a stepping stone, get everything you can out of it and get out. Good luck!


What is the best part of working at the company?
Wellness Days as extra days off 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The unfairness of how the company is run. To many bad and poor quality management staff especially in Property Management division. The supervisors are very  passive aggressive with staff members constantly. Burn out is high because of poor  management  in the buildings and in services departments. It's not a great place to work and the core values are a total joke. Management doesn't practice what they preach especially MidPen core values. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
They play favorites and upper management doesn't care what happens to employees. They just don't care at all. MidPen cares more about making millions of dollars each year and  money then they do about their  staff or residents. MidPen has a lot of  discrimination  going on in inside their management teams .   organization.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long hours . Not a lot of positive feedback. To many zooms and meetings.

The absolute worst leadership in existence! Current Vice Presidents and President are paid to build morale and build culture and support the mission and employees efforts to create synergy between the company goals and employees.  NOT!!! The new leadership in Property Management  and especially the strange unapproachable VP and inexperienced Directors struggle to make simple decisions and no one can figure out who's making these choices to hire these people and why? I work away from Home office at a property and I never have had any positive feedback or acknowledgement and I get bad vibes across the board about this company since our last VP left and some others followed, just left.  Something is very wrong. IF YOU SEE AN AD FOR A JOB RUN,  THere is a lot better places to work. I'm leaving in July by my choice. 


In terms of diversity and inclusion they look good only on the surface. When it comes to ADA representation and accommodation they fall below short.  Rather than truly embrace the idea of being a workplace that wishes to fully engage those with disabilities as part of their  workforce they look for barriers to put up to make it impossible for the individual to succeed by refusing to provide appropriate accommodations.

I had to travel to 3 different counties within the week. I was told that I was not collaborating well when i did not want to travel from Walnut Creek to Mountain View within the day. And lastly when I was having issues, the management team lacked resolutions to the issues. Management tells you to be a working professional, yet when they don't inform you on protocols they say that it's your fault for either not asking or that the employee should have known that protocol already. 

If you are willing to deal with management that tells you one thing and then expects something else and willing to travel to properties in three different counties then this is the job for you.

I wish I could say better things, but unfortunately this place is just another nonprofit. There are a few good seeds in the group of employees, but they are outnumbered by a mass of bad seeds who only know how to treat everyone like children.  The health benefits and a few of the people are great, but otherwise I wouldn't recommend this organization to anyone who wants to be treated respectfully and like a human being.

I went above and beyond for my clients which was sometimes frowned on.  I learned that people with mental health and addiction issues are very hard to keep stable housing.  I loved our Director she was awesome.  The hardest part of the job was dealing with the policies and procedure of the job because they were not realistic with the population we served.  I really enjoyed my clients; even though they had their struggles; I was always able to help them save their housing.
