Pros

Have been flexible with schedule. $2 lunches for employees. Most staff are very friendly and try to be helpful. Employees can wear good Sam t- shirts with scrub pants to work every day if they want to which is nice for comfort reasons in the summer. PTO and LOTS of benefits available to full time workers. Employee Emergency fund available... for example you're driving to work you get a flat tire you don't have the money to buy a new tire. you put in a request and upon approval Good Sam emergency fund will pay for your tire and you don't have to pay them back. I've never worked at a job that had anything like that so I find that really impressive. And they have a weekend option you work two 16 hour shifts back-to-back on the weekend and they counted as 40 hours. So if you want a job where you just work weekends and get a whole week off in between and you can do 16 hours back-to-back definitely the place to be.

Cons

Never enough walkie talkies. Not enough CNAs on shift to do your job as well as you know you could. Two CNAs are needed for all lifts but they staff the hall sometimes with only one CNA so you have to call all over on a walkie-talkie (if you are lucky enough to have one that day) to try to get help and at times no one will show up for half an hour or more. It's two small cons but together...its a nightmare.

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.
