I have been working at Salvation Army

Pros – You learn alot about yourself and others. You learn CPR, First aid, crisis intervention and take many trainings. You meet several people in the community along with a numerous amount of agencies. They always have a open door policy and your ideas and thoughts are always taken into consideration. They will pay for you to go back to school if you so desire. It is not like a traditional job where you sit behind a desk all day. You have the ability to really help others as they too will help you. The range of doctors you can see is pretty good with the insurance they offer. It is an over all good place to work and learn.

Cons – There are two major things that stand out working in this environment and with this company and it is the pay. You are not paid enough for all of the demands and time that you dedicate to helping others. And if you work the overnight shift there is no differential pay. The raises are not that great either.

Advice to Senior Management – Listen to the needs of your workers because most of us put lots of love, care, time and emotions into this job.
