Lutheran Social Services Employer Reviews

People were great, Managers were a little scattered. A very clean and well maintained place. Residents were very nice and outgoing. They have lots of activities. Didn't get many hours and the hours I did get weren't very dependable.

It's a decent work place, meet lots of great people. It was rather stressful but co workers help get through that. Kids were great.

Management did not practice what they preached. Everyday was a day walking on eggshells. Make one mistake and worry if your job was in jeopardy. Management had no idea how to run a company.

Spent donor money on food for breaks and personal cars rather than helping children.

LSI was the best job I had ever had. The values and culture were outstanding and they really work to keep their employees happy. The compensation was mediocre but the benefits such as paid time off were spectacular. After being there for 3 years I got 6 weeks of PTO. The hardest part of the job was working with families with DHS involvement and abuse – more... cases. There were many things that were enjoyable such as helping families reach goals and to see families and children succeed with the help of the program that I was part of. – less

It was nice while it lasted for some outreach ministry experiences.

Helping refugees and immigrants was very gratifying and helping them brought me joy. Hardest part of this job was the work load but kept me very productive.

Luthern services is a employment that wants to help women and men get back into society as a productive member.

The workflow was extremely slow and sometimes.

A typical day would be spent copying and binding special projects.

Residents are absolutely wonderful! Management and the higher up are just completely awful. Most of the Co-workers will stab you in the back if you are not in the "click".

The LSS in Gettysburg has the most wonderful residents I have ever met. Most of the CNAs are wonderful also.

A typical day day at work was very busy yet enjoyable. I enjoyed working with all of my co-workers they were all team oriented. All of the lpn's and RNs were helpful and supportive.
The hardest part of my job was getting close to relatives and having them pass away. The most enjoyable part was being able to put a smile on the residents face!

A typical day consisted of traveling to different cities across Illinois to have one-on-one meetings with the leaders of partner, or prospective partner, organizations. Meetings would primarily consist of discussions of mutual goals, struggles, and possible future collaboration with a particular emphasis on group statewide advocacy projects.

The positon would be better if the office staff were more experienced.

Love what I did for them. it was my first experience transatating and interpreting in U.S

Fairly good place to work. Company is managed well. Co-workers are friendly. The most enjoyable part of the job is knowing that your efforts help people.

Routine schedule and tasks daily, I've learned different cultures while assisting a variety of clients. Managers are always available and I really appreciate their open door policy. Co-workers seem competent and their willingness to help with scheduling is outstanding! Benefit/compensation package is the most desirable. I enjoy working with my clients – more... while helping to improve their quality of life! – less

Good place to work I followed their goals and strived to meet their goals

I deal with more of the purchasing aspects of the finance department. I also assist the finance staff with any administration duties. I enjoy my co-workers and I have a wonderful boss that backs me up all the time. The hardest part of the job is when i have so much on my plate and I have fallen behind on keeping the file room up to date. The most enjoyable – more... part of the job is when our department gets together for pit lucks or go out to lunch for birthdays. – less

A typical day at work would be starting by getting the youth ready for their daily activities.

The hardest part of my job was when the Supervisor was un organized. The mos enjoyable part – more... of my job was making even the smallest difference for the troubled youth. – less
