My co-workers were awesome.
Hardest part of the job was detailing the kitchen.
The most enjoyable part of the job was preparing good food and seeing peopl happy and full.

I have loved being here for 2 years . Received pay for 4 months during the Holiday Season. There is no funding now. I need to get a Job with pay.
Olga Duvall was wonderful in training me. I am very grateful. I have worked 40 hours a week for God and the homeless.

A typical day at work included a daily walk around the store to find out what needed to be done. Made a list and assigned duties to employees. Made sure those duties were done in a timely manner and done to store standards. I did paper work after shift changes and was also in charge of doing deposits multiple times a day. Myself and my co workers greeted – more... all customers at the door and throughout the store. My co workers and I accomplished tasks individually and together to achieve expectations. The most enjoyable part was helping people who really needed it. – less

I was the assistant managers there for 2 years and I managed a group of 6

a day at work was always relaxed knowing my job and being able to go in get to work with no sudden changes...i learned hard work is always required to do your best. management was helpful anything not understood was explained my co workers were very helpful but most we kept everything professional and had fun doing it

Two or three times a week, both the Salvation Army employees and volunteers would work to the best of our ability to serve every client, whether or not they were eligible for any of the offered services. As a volunteer, the work was demanding, long hours were put in, and a lot of standing and moving were always expected, but helping people out and staying – more... busy was worth the physical aspects. Knowledge was gained in working in an office setting, working with a variety of clients from different backgrounds, and heavy lifting and organizing in the storage area. – less

This was a satisfying job. I was responsible for overseeing the cleaning team within the Lifehouse as the hostels are now called.
Daily we cleaned the rooms as resident/clients left the unit.
At its peak we catered for 90 client -service users.

As well as the rooms duties involved cleaning all communal service areas staircases bathrooms and toilets – more... and offices. Laundry was rotated weekly and as a cleaning team we all participated in all areas,
covering when someone was off or on holiday

Buffing, cleaning, laundry was all undertaken.
We had training in Fire Safety, COSSH and First Aid amongst other inhouse training relevant to our duties.

Overall the staff gelled as a team and it was a happy place to work in. – less

Cash handling, Banking, end of week/month paperwork, key holder, till work,

Go to work and talk to a variety of people gathering donations.

I collected donations for the Salvation Army's Angel Tree. I learned how to interact with people and convince people to contribute to the cause. My boss dealt with any issues promptly. The hardest part of the job was the long hours. The most enjoyable part was interacting with the people.

It was fun,exciting! I enjoyed it alot out in the freeze'ing cold having fun ringing the bell it was not for the money,but the J.O.Y

My work day started off when I arrived to open the store at nine a.m. I started off as a cashier in three months I was the keyholder and in seven months I became the assistant manager. I learned how to manage and work with different individuals. I enjoy getting to know and working with all of my co-workers. The hardest part of my job was doing everyone's – more... job when they would not complete their task. I enjoyed my job I loved helping the customers coming across interesting things and the staff. – less

They put more resposibility on management personnel and do not compenensate them, alot of items are over priced. Employees are not team oriented. They do not offer much chance for advancement.

The work place was mis-managed. Everything always seemed to be out of order. My co-workers were interesting. The pay was the most difficult part of the job as well as my schedule being changed all the time.

I learned to improve my keystrokes. I also entered donation slips into the computer by date and alphabetical order. I also filed the paper slips into file cabinets for retrieval and eventual disposal.

This was a great job. I loved the company. Loved the people I worked with

I liked working there. My coworkers were nice and fin to work with. I learned how to work in a fast paced environment.

the hardest part of the job was saying good bye at the end of the day all the people I worked with were easy to get a long with they made me feel wanted. I love being able to help people.
