Hope Ministries Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"The policies are for the regular staff, but people with the word “Director” in their job title seem to be above following them when it meets their needs at the time. Their directives are conditional and enforcement is inconsistent. The Director of HR and Community Outreach is the worse at being above doing what is right if it suits him at the time. He will even get entangled in blatant conflicts of interest and no one ever holds him accountable for it. Plus, he will blackball staff based in his own opinions regardless of evidence to the contrary placed right in front of him. His view is the correct view despite the truth. If you don’t believe like they do or hold to their version of what being a Christian is, they WILL fire you! If you are LGBT, don’t work there. If they find out you are LGBT, they WILL fire you. This is true, even though more Christian churches are accepting of LGBT people. Some companies no longer send work teams to volunteer at Hope Ministries anymore, due to their anti-LGBT position. Overall, they are more concerned with funds than people. If a choice must be made between satisfaction of employees and money, the dollar will win. Staff is constantly put in unsafe situations with dangerous people that have criminal records without informing the staff of what the person’s issues are, how to protect themselves or given training on how to deal with the people they are forced to work with. Also, People with HIV and Hep C were put to work with employees without warning the staff. It is less about the homeless these days. It is more of a halfway house than a homeless mission these days. There are more ex convicts now so they can get greater numbers of people they serve to justify their existence. They are always understaffed, and there is a lot of stress. Those working in Thrift are not as important as the rest of the ministry staff. They will take people from them to staff other arms of the ministry."
