Pros

The faith-based culture is uplifting (and hard to find these days), the work environment hits the right balance of professional and comfortable, co-workers are encouraging and supportive, the work/life balance is very reasonable and flexible when necessary, benefits are solid.

Cons

It's a large organization, which has inherent issues with decision-making speed, approval turnaround, and overall organizational agility. At the same time, the size of the organization provides some stability in a generally unstable employment environment.

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.
