Pros

A loving, caring company with a heart for its mission and the people they serve. Having worked for this company for over 30 years I had seen lots of changes. Some good and some not so good, but that is to be expected. Regardless of what the change was or why it was always done with the best intentions and for the good of the staff and residents. I'm convinced there is no better place to work if you want to feel loved, valued and at peace. I would continue to work for Good Sam if I hadn't moved to a state and city where they are not located.

Cons

Pay can always be better in this industry but it comes with the territory. To pay the staff what they truly deserve, as I believe they are doing God's work, would mean passing that cost down to the residents. That's a catch 22. The only other issue would be sometimes the shortage of help which could be related to the lower wages but also because of all the competition out there.

Pros

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.
