The Salvation Army Careers and Employment

The Salvation Army mission is to meet human needs without discrimination and that is what we do! I love the interaction with the community yet pay is low but expected in non-profit work.

Great Managers and co workers

Culture is nice and easy going. Everyone is supportive of one another. We all work as a team to make our part easier. This has been a good experience.

Loved working there

I moved up rather quickly, and even though at the time i was completely unqualified for the management role, i learned the role quite easily, and i thrived at it... One of my my favorite jobs to date... Only negative would be that the pay was a little on the low side..

Used to love this place

If you are management and have a kid good luck working here. They have an issue with you being a parent and won’t accommodate your schedule. Oh and don’t speak up for yourself they’ll really come after you. Beneficiaries don’t know how to stay in their place either they try and instigate and get you in trouble

Low pay, administration is awful

Higher ups will say they care about the employees and “the mission” but actions speak louder than words. Horrible pay for the work you are expected to do, benefits are bad. Very cliquey high school environment. Yearly raises are next to nothing.

I was not asked any questions about my skills during my interview there. Seemed like the interview was more of a formality than to see if I was a good fit for the position.
