The Salvation Army Employer Reviews

A typical day at work would be very productive, feeling a sense of acievement. I liked working with all my co-workers and would do it all over again if I had the chance. The hardest part of the job was taking critism from the city and dealing with cental valley order control.

A typical day at work for me would be fast paste and full of energy.
You learn everyday how to be steady with the customers.
Our management is firm and sturdy.
I get along perfectly with my co-workers, like family.
Work is only hard when you're tired.
The best part of my job is when we all come together and work as a team. Which is everyday.

As camp nurse, I provided care for high-risk campers ages 7 to 15 and for all staff members. It was thoroughly enjoyable position in which I had virtual autonomy in assessing, triaging, and managing the health care needs of campers and staff.

Each day was an unpredictable at the Salvation Army. Almost everyday I was sent off to do something different, Whether it was packing food boxes, cleaning up trash around the building, or working the front desk. Once I became the only Receptionist, it began to feel like work. I always had to put files back into the right spot alphabetically and the – more... phone never stopped ringing. Whenever I had a question, my boss was there to answer any question I had. My Co-workers were all different. Some were officers in the Army and some where officers from the Fire Station. The hardest part of the job was getting phone calls and not having someone around to answer the questions I was unsure they had. If I did not know the answer I learned it is better to take down their full name, number, and a message so I can just get back to them with the right information. I enjoyed handing a family a food box or two, or joining a new member in my signing them up into the Salvation Army program. I could personally say the Salvation Army was one of my best work experiences because it gave me a taste of the office life. – less

I would cook or help with cooking at soup kitchens, shelters and the like.

all co-workers are very interesting and very funny, my typical day at work is helping others, answering phones, filing, doing paperwork

My day at the Savation Army begins at 8:00am and ends at 4:30. I typically prepare the incoming and out manifest sheets for the drivers, prep the forklift to load and unload trucks, trailers and semis. I check what is in stock and assign benefeciaries to different job assignments. Due to my dependability, I do the bulk of the work on my shift.

Sinc – more... being at the Salvation I have learned very good skills operating a forklift.(loading over 40,000 pounds) onto semi trucks. I also have developed exception skills with multi tasking. For several months I held down three positions.

There is really no hard part at the job, I enjoy working so I do my best making the most of each day. I I work well and get along with all of the employees. – less

a day at salvation is very productive and on task. As the day goes on we find that we get through it very quickly without anytime to waste, reason being there is always something to such running errands, grocey shopping, doctors appointments, laundry etc. what i gained in the end is how to care very well for someone in need of my assistants and I loved – more... it. there was nothing i could not do at my job to make it hard i caught on very quickly once i went through all the training required. i enjoyed everything about. – less

This organization cares about it's employee's more than others that I have worked for. They have a desire to see the employee succeed in their personal lives as well as at work.

My review from the Agency : Salvation Army, was that it was a good experience for my first job working with people.

Long days, little pay. Unorganized management but supportive co-workers. Must enjoy what you do for others with little company reward. Satisfaction comes from those that you help.

My day would start out by listening to those in needs. researching the best option and providing what we can. What I learn is not everyone were born from riches to rag or from rags to riches, and any kind of help makes a difference. My management skills came in when a single mother walked in with 5 little ones looking for work. Instead I invited them – more... to join us for our holiday party, the single mother with her 5 little ones left that evening with food, clothe, toys and a job. When one makes a decision that is outside the box that can improve the company and when your co-workers participate makes the job more easier and enjoyable. The hardest part of the job not being able to help everyone. The most enjoyable part when they walk way with a smile in their face. – less

Enjoyed being able to use my homemaking decorating skills during seasonal events, help with fixing and serving lunch to the senior citizens every other Tuesday of the week. The holidays are very busy and most stressful when we had limited funding for certain programs to help low-income families such as help with rental and utilities assistance. There – more... where no health or any insurance benefits. – less

People volunteering and working there are great. Easy to talk to. If you have a question they will gladly help you.

A vital non-profit providing a much needed resource but typical pay for staff members is not good.

Typical work day would be busy and steady. What I've learned is to work together as a team, makes for a much better crew. Management can be confusing but just like every other store. My co-workers are a wonderful crew. Hardest part of the job is the pricing of the merchandise. Most enjoyable is seeing the customers, hearing about there lives and children. – more... Really can change a whole day around by simply smiling. – less

I work there to give back for all I have been given.
And I enjoy helping people.
But the pay was not enough to take care of my family.

i loved my job. the people were nice also the supervisors. i would to work here again

This is a good organization to work for. For the most part they try to be fair to all employees. Typically I do keep pretty busy. My job is simple and not stressful, co-workers are nice. Hardest part of the job is that I dont feel very challenged. Most enjoyable part would be some of the people I work with.

i loved working as a kettle worker for the salvation army, the only bad thing was it was seasonal and not to mention the COLD days outside during the winter
