United Against Poverty

I was a spring intern for United Against Poverty (Orlando) and I had an excellent experience. Respectful and dedicated staff and an amazing cause. The environment is very fast-paced and the internship is unpaid, but there is a stipend at the end of the term and the work we do here is not typical office work. We are able to explore off campus opportunities, attend events, and we are treated as staff is treated. I'm thankful for my experience here. The only con of the internship is really that it is unpaid and sometimes we are expected to attend certain events with extremely short notice...but that is just the nature of nonprofit.

Days always start of slow, then kicks of in the afternoon, where shipment come in, And shoppers fill up the store. I learn how to work with different people with different background different from him. Management was always on the move check up on the work and insuring that the volunteers such as me knew what to do at any give time. Co workers/ workers openly accepted the volunteers and worked at fast and productive pace, volunteered so long I will like I was pretty much a worker. The hardest part of the job would be introducing large amounts of new items, I love the fast pace of the store and friendly people around.

A typical day at the Harvest food outreach signing volunteers up for community hours. Tracking time for On the Job volunteers, taking care of any problems the volunteers may have, and making work schedule for volunteers. The learning is an ongoing process, every day different. Management was great and always willing to help. My co-worker was supportive and helpful. The hardest things to see at this job were the families who came in with no food. The most enjoyable part of my job is helping people find resources to help there situation.

I had two go rounds with Harvest, I found it to be not at all what they say that they do, Most of the testimonials are old and not up to date. And very much scripted, They hurt the very someones that they are Supposedly helping 

The place is loaded with Rodents. The handling of Food items is not at all safe or up to any government standards. Frozen Foods come in defrosted and re froze, this happens daily. most of the times foods have been exposed to room temperatures and refrozen a few times

I enjoyed working here because I was able to help people, which is something I am very passionate about. Their grocery program provides grocery to income-approved members at much lower prices than a typical grocery store. Their were days when it would be very busy and i'd spend my time at only the cash register, but on slower days I was able to restock merchandise as well. I also worked in their thrift store for a short time and a typical day was the same as the grocery, though usually not quite as busy.

United against poverty is a place with an inspiring mission. The staff was friendly and caring. You will never see so many coworkers with such passion. Although  I don’t regret my time there, my internship experience was unfortunately less than what I expected. Although I loved being there and the purpose, I learned very little and found myself always trying to find something to do. Giving back to the community for a semester was a fulfilling experience

Some of the best coworkers ever! Supportive and positive coworkers. Management was unforgiving and there was a lack of leadership and commitment to employee development. There were conflicts at the management level amongst management that led to confusion and lack of focus. 

IT interns work with senior programmers and business owners who offer work experience and mentorship. The employees are patient with tech support interns who are just starting. Afterwards, they assist with job placement and interview skills.

It is a great place to work. Everyone is professional. I learned about recruitment by doing mock interviews with students. I worked to professionalism and time management by managing and maintain the executive director's schedules, emails, and client information’s. Also, I conducted research, compile data, and assist with presentations for sponsorship opportunities.
