Pros

I have experience with both non-profit and for-profit communications agencies. I have found my time with the Good Samaritan Society to be positive and rewarding. My co-workers and superiors continue to encourage my career growth, and my Christian faith. I have been promoted twice in the almost nine years I've worked here. I also have created professional friendships with co-workers across the United States since we have 240 locations in 24 states. The best thing I can say about the Good Samaritan Society is that I also am a client. My mother has a wonderful relationship with the visiting nurses who work for one of our local agencies. They are professional and caring. I couldn't have the life that I have if they weren't here to help me care for my mother as she ages in her own home.

Cons

I'm well aware of the negative feelings that some of my co-workers have for the national headquarters where I work. What I wish is that we had more time to connect across the miles. I do as many long-distance training and support phone calls as I can, but that's not enough. Respect and trust are key in our relationships between headquarters and our local centers.

Thank you for sharing your experience with others as to what it's like to work in Good Samaritan. It is interesting, as you know, that every location and department is different, yet at the heart of what we do, is the desire to be servant leaders and make a difference in the lives of the seniors that are receiving care and services. Keep up the good work, it sounds like we are "blessed" to have you share your gifts and talents.

401K Options available to employees

Cons

Management - violate HIPPA in regards to background checks of caregivers. Numerous times caregivers are laughed at and made fun of. Several instances where management in staff meetings belittle and make fun of how GS is manipulating caregivers at the lowest pay to take shifts or they threaten their job is at stake. Management engage with staff gossip of other staff and violate HIPPA of several employees with disabilities and share with others staff special arrangements. HR - violate HIPPA by sharing personal detailed information regarding caregivers disabilities and background checks to management. Management have been overheard laughing at caregivers who have come back with disabilities or background check results and shared in staff meetings HIPPA protected information with all. Management have withheld pay and try to get away with not paying caregivers hours worked to save on budget. Tell them they can't be paid if they did not log in, despite them working the hours or having difficulty signing in. Management accepting gifts from clients and allowing other staff to take gifts from clients despite it being against policy and a manipulation towards client trust. Threats from management and abuse of power when staff whistleblow to clients what is going on or when staff share with upper management. It is always best to record to protect onself due to retaliation based on lies.
