What do you like about working at The Salvation Army?

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"If you are hired, do everything by the book...and I guarantee you will still be let go if they don't like you. These people have lost their way in the last hundred years. I do not recommend them at all."

What don't you like about working at The Salvation Army?

"While they want your donations, and while most salaries are low, the perks that the uniformed leaders get are unbelievable. Someone should be throwing an 'occupy' group at them and demand to see where the money goes. They are number one in the world for receiving charitable gifts, but really, who is beneffitting Some Congressional group needs to ask them to open their books, and ask why they feel they have the right to terrorize employees."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Throw away your uniforms. You are supposed to represent Christ Jesus, but instead you are full of self-centeredness and lack of feeling toward the poor, the disenfranchised and many employees."
