Business Outlook

Pros

Good Samaritan Society offers decent benefits and wants to see its employees continue their education. Nurse to patient ratios were decent for long term care

Cons

Bad management, talked down to staff, not available to discuss concerns. Administrator let go all LPNs in favor of RNs without a thought of how it would affect the residents

Business Outlook

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.
