Pros

Earn PTO pay (good luck trying to use it though).

Cons

It's a good ole boy's club, my supervisor blatantly disrespects women. Age discrimination abounds. You earn PTO but are expected not to take time off. Too many levels of management, takes forever to get a decision made, Supervisor micromanages every decision. No support.

Good Samaritan Response

The Good Samaritan Society is built on a legacy of respecting one another. That means treating everyone equally, supporting opportunities for advancement and fostering an environment of trust. We take your comments seriously, and will work with our leadership team to address them.

Pros

Great mission, great care, residents are well cared for and very much loved

Cons

The building is falling apart, staff turnover, which is a problem is all local facilities, rusty water flows out of the pipes, constant issues, from one thing to another, tired of being on the "new building" list year after year with no changes. Just heard of the 30 million dollar "new building" at National Campus where they do not even care for patients.

Good Samaritan Response

Thank you for taking the time to share a review. We are glad you enjoyed the people you worked with, and the residents who you served. Additionally, our mission is our bedrock, and we are excited to read that it was important to your work each day. We are sorry to hear that you experienced difficulties in the facility where you served. Building maintenance is of the utmost importance to our leadership, and as with all facilities, they require regular upkeep. We work hard to provide residents with a safe environment in which to live and thrive. As with all comments, we will share this information with management.

Pros

The nurses, CNAs, and management personally care about the residents and do their best to put residents first. The management also makes sure to listen to the CNAs and often took steps to make everyone's job easier.

Cons

- Frequently understaffed given the number of residents to care for. Other CNAs regularly did not show up for their shifts. - The nurses are hit or miss: some of them care about teamwork and helping CNAs, others will give CNAs as much extra work as they can. - Pay raises are nominal and not based on performance; I regularly received compliments on my work ethic from nurses and management yet only received a $0.34 raise after working for 1.5 years(most CNAs stay less than 1 year).
