This organization has a fantastic mission and is truly interested in helping people in need.

This organization runs on rules. A lot of rules. If you like rules you will be fine working here. If you think you should be allowed to speak to co-workers without permission, you may not want to work here.

I love it because my work makes a difference in the world! I feel like we are really helping people survive and change their lives for the better. It is easy to go to a job I love and the people I work with are committed to their work. I will never look for another job! I just plain love it! The on-line site keeps us up to date on the big picture and we have the latest technology to communicate within the company with each other (and management if we choose).
Cons
The pay is a bit low but the benefits are great.

It’s rewarding work in the sense that you are helping people in need indirectly by organizing & reporting financials. Very kind & respectful employees & management.
Cons
Pay is below average & highly religious (which is only a negative if you aren’t yourself an evangelical christian). Some people have a tone of superiority.

It's great that I worked for a organisation that is aimed at helping people in need. Mission focused on helping others.
Cons
Not many that I can think of, except I think that the Salvation stores should be kept in a cleaner state.
