The Bowery Mission

What is the best part of working at the company?
A job that allows you to serve others does not feel like a job at all. The Bowery is that place where you go to "work," but you feel as though you're home with your family. This place of employment will transform you for good as you help others find hope and all the joy life has to offer. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most challenging part about working at the company is getting clients to understand their worth and how they can get back on their feet. Yet, it is achievable!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
This place feels like a family. Everyone is genuinely grateful for having each other in the team. Every day, everyone is there for each other and lends a helping hand. All staff members are Christ-centered and caring. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day involves helping those in need with the most basic of services they lack. Also, you get to guide them towards the right direction as they seek the help they need.

The Bowery Mission is the best place in NYC to serve our beloved neighbors experiencing homelessness. When I worked for this organization, people looking for help chose us over other shelters because we distinguished ourselves as a shelter where our guests could feel safe and be treated with kindness, dignity, honor, and respect. One of the most fulfilling things I got to experience was seeing our guests after they transitioned back into independent living. I often randomly run into our former guests while I am commuting in the city who will say to me, "Hey! I remember you! Guess what? I have a job and live in my own apartment now." If you end up working here, one of the best experiences of joy you'll feel in your life is responding back to them with a hug or high-five saying, "Congrats! I'm so proud of you! I knew you could do it!" The Bowery Mission could use more positive and life-giving people who want to serve people with compassion and make their world a better place. If that's you, I encourage you to apply for one of their open positions.

The Mission is really trying to be better. The workplace is still pretty disorganized, and especially front-line workers are worked far too hard for too little money. But they're trying. They have a lot of initiatives especially around diversity and equality. They've raised their minimum salary to $`17/hr and most recently they've instituted a formal strategy for career advancement. It's still not a great place to work mostly due to the high demands and lack of communication about changes that affect your job, but the executive team is trying to change that. Of note, they have been on this course of action for years, so things have improved but the timeline for "change" is pretty long.

The Bowery Mission is an organization where like-minded Christians engage in impactful, purpose-driven work. Their hiring process is lengthy and very involved, but that's because they value discernment and proper screening and are committed to retaining good, solid individuals. They are making positive changes towards improving overall compensation, culture, and benefits. Recently they have increased base salary of most frontline workers, provided pandemic bonuses, as well as provided cost of living increases. These financial incentives plus summer Fridays as well as competitive benefits packages, makes this one organization of the better non-profits around. There are still improvements to be made, regarding work-life balance but they are moving in the right direction. 

When I worked here I never worked the hours I was told I would be working. I was asked to work crazy hoye consistantly. For about 6 months I worked a schedule that only allowed me 3 hours of sleep one day a week. 
It was the hardest job I have ever worked and I definitely think I deserved to be paid more but I learned a lot. The people are really great too. Management doesn't always communicate and they have a top down approach to virtually everything which really impacts the culture negatively.
However, I've gained new skills and made life long friends. 

It's a good place to work entry level but it isn't sustainable long term.

This was a horrible place to work at. The leadership is horrible and says they will fix things but they don't. They allow bad employees to do whatever they want and tell good employee (that actually care) to suck it up and forget about it. If you are looking for a Christian organization, I do not recommend this one. This place has effected my mental health to such an extreme that I needed to get professional help. The HR department is useless as well as higher leadership. Based on my experience, I do not recommend this place to anyone. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Staff & organization , on all levels are committed to helping people in need find a fresh start in life! 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Population of mentally ill that are sometimes difficult to embrace change. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great! Supportive!  Staff all seem very committed to helping the population they serve! 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
 Worked there for 14+ years but I no longer work there.

A day at work is always calm but effective. I've learned here that no matter where you have been in life that there are people who care and work earnestly to provide unfortunate people with the best quality of life. This company is managed very sufficiently and the people here are quite amazing. The hardest part of my job is leaving for the day I  enjoy the atmosphere. The most enjoyable part of my the job is assisting our clients to the best resources that can assist their needs

A typical day at Bowery would be feeding the homeless, cleaning up the kitchen and washing dishes.I have learned to work with others. one thing i loved about Bowery is its culture its based on giving back to the needy and showing them love.The hardest part of the job is cleaning up after everyone has left. even though i loved the culture want thing i didn't appreciate was the lack of attention and caring from the management and this lead me to resign.
