Pros

It used to be a faith based organization.

Cons

Over the last several years there has been a culture shift in this organization. It used to be a faith based organization. However, the organization is becoming increasingly secular (to appeal to a larger market). The last several years the company has posted operating losses ranging from 25-30 million a year. A 30 million dollar building was built at National Campus only to lay off 100 employees. Reports are internally that the building cost closer to 46 million. Poor leadership from Dave Horazdovsky and Bergan Peterson have destroyed this company. Do not work for this company. They do not make a profit and there is no room for growth. Benefits have declined over the years due to lack of revenue. Now pay will be tied to operating performance. You will not reach the mid-point in your position if the organization continues to perform poorly. No opportunity. GSS relies heavily on Medicaid and Medicare - with the cuts coming to these two payers it is unlikely this company will be able to survive.

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.
