Not what I expect from a Christian Organization - Administrative Assistant The Salvation Army Employee Review

Pros

Mostly good co-workers that will become life-long friends, great organization if you love to serve the needy, all work related events have a ton of food (you won't go hungry) and the lives you touch will also touch your own.

Cons

Heaven help! The ones put in charge (to lead and supervise) are terrible examples to all of us. They both lie a lot and do very little work. 1 in particular is always behind on his tasks, or he forgets, but he always throws someone else under the bus to cover for himself, at the expense of that person being in trouble. This happens A LOT!! Another one (a officer/major) is very condescending to women, knows very little about procedures and protocols, does not like to be told when he is wrong, and hates to be told NO. He likes to say that he is right because he is the boss and is also blatantly condescending and disrespectful to his wife who is in the same position as he is. A lot of overall dishonesty in reporting numbers. Mostly number padding to impress DHQ, few times lowering numbers for god knows what.

Pros

Staff (not management) genuinely cared about the people they were serving

Cons

People are always shocked when I tell them about the morally corrupt (not to mention, illegal!) things that happened in our Denver office on a regular basis. The only thing worse than management's toxic and discriminatory behavior, was how HR enabled it. I can speak to 4 different incidents where an employee went to HR with DOCUMENTED PROOF of sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, discrimination, and/or retaliation from management. HR never opened an official investigation into any of those complaints, forcing the employees to return to an even more toxic work environment, because the managers were allowed to see the entirety of what the employee had submitted to HR. They were then able to turn around and write up that same employee for phony or nonexistent issues. The employee couldn't contest it or do anything to challenge its legitimacy. And once they received 3 or 4 of those written warnings, they were eligible for termination, which is exactly what happened. HR forced 2 of the aforementioned employees to write a resignation letter. The other 2 were let go under the guise of "budget cuts." All of the managers named in those complaints still work there today, and never received so much as a written warning.
