The Salvation Army Employer Reviews

Fast paced environment which I loved, couldnt handle commute all the down to San Diego from Carlsbbad.

A typical day at work includes counseling individuals, couples, adolescents or children, case review meetings with the Program Director and Case Manager, and collateral meetings in the form of casual conversations with clients in facility.

The most profound thing that I have learned from my work at the Lambuth Family Center is that no matter how desperate – more...  a family may appear and no matter what they communicate in terms of need, if they are not ready for change and willing to engage in a process of change, no lasting change can happen.

The management and my co-workers to an exceptional job in caring for and providing services for the families at the transitional housing facility. They are grossly underpaid and over worked, but manage to keep positive, caring attitudes in spite of the challenges.

The hardest part of my job is seeing how emotional and spiritual brokenness translates into broken lives, and how the brokenness of adults spills over onto their children--in spite of good intentions.

The most enjoyable part of my job happens when someone comes to us ready for change and engages in the process. It is deeply satisfying to watch a life that is desperate and broken become joyful, healed and full of hope. – less

i greet the public as they whent inside the to to buy food or gift for christmas

I did my work experience here for a few weeks as part of our 'training for work' course and I really enjoyed it. The staff are really friendly and very helpful.

the hardest part of the job were to sort food out
the enjoyable part of the job were to clean, stock, package, and maintain good customer service

i work in the kitchen and i volenter.i have learned a lot of things in there my co workers give me a lot of support.its a very hard job every part of the job is enjoyable.

A fast paced environment. Having to multi-task and stay busy, never a dull moment. Meeting new people and helping those with addictions. Seeing and being part of changing lives and families being mended back together. I have learned many skills since starting as a Temp Computer Teacher for the company while someone went on maternity leave. After she – more...  came back I was offered the Office Assistant position. Another lady went on maternity leave and I helped out with her position, which was FSS Caseworker, in which I did for four months. I am still currently employed with this company as the Office Assistant. I am looking to relocate to Siver Springs Nevada where I can be closer to family. – less

I really enjoyed working with the residents and had a good relationships with most of the staff. The management was poor at their jobs and would set policies that were not clear or practical. The management would write notes to us that were demeaning and very unprofessional.

I feel I learned everything I need to know about retail managment from this job.

The district manager was resposible for hiring, and I don't belive most of the employees are qualified for their jobs. So most of the responsiblitiy was put on myself and my co-manager. We were able to handle this but don't believe higher managment did what they could – more...  to improve the store.

What i enjoyed most was meeting our daily sales goals, this makes me feel successful as a store manager

A typical day at work included opening the store, giving all the employees tasks for the day, making sure they were completed as well as clean up at the end of the day. I did daily sales sheets from the day before. Handled all incoming and outgoing production, making sure incoming production was priced and put on the sales floor immediatly. I fixed any employee mistakes. I took care of all customer needs, sales and complaints. I also closed the store and registers in the evening, followed by making a cash drop at the bank. – less

A wonderful organization that helps the community. If you have never participated in bell ringing during the holidays, I highly suggest you volunteer at least once. I was humbled and delighted.

I had a fun time working with salvation army; i would bell ring and talk with other worker's about the work

Working at a non-profit can be quite difficult at times, especially learning how to handle people. Most people you meet on the average day are looking for help. This means you very often encounter other people's anger or sadness. Those can be very difficult emotions to deal with, especially because of what they may invoke in one's self.

A typical day at work was busy. I learned how to pruce merchandise. The management was decent. My co-workers weren't to be trusted. The harderst part of the job was having a lot of merchandise to sort. The most enjoyable part of the job was sorting merchandise.

they do great thing and to be apart of it no matter how long, is really great
