Pros

Faith based mission, but doesn't hold enough weight anymore and isn't enough to offset poor management & decisions.

Cons

Too many VP's with higher than average salaries who make decisions that low paid employees need to carry out while being short staffed.

Pros

-calm, fast paced environment -other aids work hard to support each other -openly reflect and share their Christ-centered philosophy -staffing levels vary, but have been consistently fully staffed or shifts -fantastic pay with opportunities for bonuses

Cons

-won't fire poor employee until "there is a stack of 'concerned reports' filed -don't care if you've worked a double or are sick or already have time off, they will ask you to work and expect you come in for open shifts -move you around to different floors, halls without asking you -bossy, intimating staff/nurses

Good Samaritan Response

Thank you for your review of our location. The "mission" of the Society is to serve and keep that Christ-centered philosophy. Sometimes the difficulty in finding the balance between making sure we can serve our customers, and staff needs can be very difficult to balance. Your comments have been shared with the management team at your location. THANK YOU for your commitment to providing care to the variety of customers we serve.
