Sarahs Circle

The staff has made working at Sarah's Circle worth it. It's a special group of people that are extremely knowledgeable about homeless support services and are extremely dedicated to the org's mission. Unfortunately the compensation offered is not commiserate with the work load or the mental strain that comes with doing this work. The organization is going through a lot of growing pains as it expands and creates more affordable housing, hopefully this will get better as they hire more staff. Unfortunately I've been told multiple times that more staff is being hired to lighten our work loads but it hasn't actually materialized yet.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy most times there is lots of in and out foot traffic.

I loved the people I worked with but I the management was very uninvolved and did not care about the needs of staff members. I often did not have the tools to do my job correctly due to managements lack of concern for safety and productivity. I wouldn’t recommend working here unless they are under new management. 

I worked as a clinical intern at this agency and was, therefore, not as involved in the day to day operations.  The agency was undergoing a lot of changes while I was there and required a lot of independent work from the interns.  The staff was amazing and supportive and working with the clientele was difficult but also extremely rewarding.  It was a positive experience working with an organization that had such a strong mission to serve an in need population.

The work and clients are manageable, but it's the supervisors and management that make it such an unbearable place to work. They do not care about you, your well-being, or your thoughts as an employee. They have a rotating door of employees in each department because they refuse to adapt and evolve. HR and management are untrustworthy and only care about the bottom line and protecting the company. Spare yourself the headache!

Pretty slow most days. It’s up to you to decide what you wanna do

I learned a lot at Sarah's Circle and found a new passion. I LOVED working with the women there, but the management cares neither for the staff nor the participants. The way the administration treats the staff is borderline abuse. 
It is a good organization that works very hard for it's participants, but is distracted by the funding requirements.

I Loved this job because i got to work with different ethnicities and operate with different women from different walks of life. it gave me a chance to show support and comfort to women that wasn't use to that type of love and it also put me in a hire position of learning new  thing and learning how to multi task in a different way.

there's many different workers at Sarah's circle from all different walks of life with many different ethnicities everyone was very helpful very concerning, caring and passionate abut their position at Sarah's circle everyone's common goal was to provide great care and compassion to those women living in the shelter and i believe we all did just that!

This organization has a great mission which could attract talented staff. However the pay for most positions is lousy/really awful. Further during my time there I often saw people of color who worked for the organization for many years not considered for advancement opportunities or were not promoted. ????
