Galt Foundation

Working for Galt Foundation has been a pretty positive experience thus far. They evaluate your skill level and place you accordingly.  This company often contracts with the state of oregon, so they jobs are choice for the private sector. With most jobs being state, extensive training is provided to work as efficiently as you can preparing you for possible permanent position. Since I am switching from a transportation position to an office position with my newly acquired degrees (Healthcare administration) it is good to get the much desired work experience without being penalized. Hardest part of the job is they are temporary and work comes as it comes in, so you might be jobless for a short time.I feel that those co-workers I have worked with have been a great experience. Galt Foundation hires many great employees with a desire to work. The employees whether they are administration hiring to my co-workers has been a good experience as they treat everyone with respect and dignity.

A typical day in Dorm Cleaning, we would work in crews deep cleaning, quick cleaning, and doing towel service and turnover on several floors in one or two dorms a day. Often worked in teams of two per room, and work was quick but fun. Learned a lot about chemical safety, proper techniques, and teamwork. Reported any damaged, missing or lost/found items to crew leader. I'd have to say the hardest part for me was the heat in the top floors in the summer, which isn't that bad really. I really enjoyed meeting new interesting people and seeing the before and after of each completed room.

I was a Seasonal, enter data from approved appliance tax credit applications into database and issue completed certification cards.  Maintain existing filing system by filing all completely processed applications. Proofread printed reports for accuracy. Correct errors. Sort and date stamp program mail.  Log date stamped applications into spreadsheet issuing a file number for each, as well as reviewing applications and making decisions concerning completeness of applications and obtaining missing information.  Contact customer by phone/fax to verify information on application. Provide clerical support for special projects as assigned (e.g. printing reports, copying documents and creating information packets).I enjoyed my work. The Management was excellent.

A good place to work a temporary job but the benefits are not minimum essential coverage in my opinion they didn't cover anything for medical from simple colds to prescriptions, no urgent care or emergency care, no health checks for men or women. The insurance states it is minimum essential coverage and is free for employees as individuals. It does not cover labs, xrays, or immunizations that I received as boosters. 

The pay for the contract temporary job at Oregon Health Authority Oregon Health Plan Call Center was competitive and good. The company was great to work for and I like my experience working there. I always felt I was treated fairly.

As it is a temp agency for those of us with "disabilities" or things that can be considered hindering to normal work, it is definitely attractive to have a shot at employment. But a majority of the work available, when available, is not healthy for the body if you are in this category. Lots of custodial work, kitchen work, things like that. Also extremely sporadic at times. Not a great chance to make any friends due to the changes in jobs so frequently. Would sometimes go a month or so without work, even though it was painful, it was really scary feeling abandoned at times. I have been thankful to be employed though! Some places don't give people a chance.

During several years there I only got temp jobs for the same type of work and was limited to the yearly total hours because of state job rules. Mostly, the state employees kept me at arms' length and I usually felt not completely welcome. The jobs were boring and repetitive, no benefits or holiday pay because of the way they timed the beginning and end dates of the assignment. While it allowed me to see several state agencies, it showed me I would not want a state job, unless the good and interesting jobs were hidden from me. No benefits, no perks, a cheap Christmas meal, no advancement from Galt. I didn't feel they wanted to support me in moving forward and advancing, just minimally matching a job assignment to me.

Working with galt was probably my best work experience to date. I would definitely do it again. My work was mostly janitorial, but i got the occasional dish washing job. I learned a great deal about cleaning supplies, and surface management while with the Galt Foundation. All the workers, and supervisors with Galt were simply wonderful to be around. My only struggle was pacing, i had some personal issues near the beginning, but Galt was willing to work with me all the way. Id have to say the best part of the job was knowing that no matter what happened Galt was always able to help me through any issues and make sure i was always doing my best.

I've been working with Galt for about 6 months now, as a temp agency you get a variety of different work, but its mostly general labor and repetitive tasks, or food work. great for extra income but not reliable to pay your bills unless you're one of the lucky few that gets conistanly scheduled. some weeks i get no calls for work at all, other weeks i get several calls, hit or miss. you dont have a fixed schedule so that allows for lots of flexibility in your normal life which is great, but for me, I need the money and it seems there's not enough of it to go around. The Managment is fantastic, they are very understanding, friendly people that check in on you every now and again if it's been awhile.

A typical day at work you come in type up death and birth certificates, they death certificates were rather depressing, because I would come across people I knew, even a family member I did not know about, but the birth certificates were awesome, seeing new births and what the parents named the children. Even came across one child whose mom wanted name to be worlds record, child had approximately 39 or more names. I learned something new, and new task doing this, co-workers were fine, management was fine, hardest part was I could not past the typing test to get the job. Most enjoyable part was we had pot lucks alot. Overall rating was a 4

My Galt Foundation representative seem uninterested in getting me assignments. I applied for a position at Oklahoma Tax Commission three years ago and HE felt that I wasn't capable of doing the job. I applied for the same position through Manpower and they were able to get me the assignment at Oklahoma Tax Commission. The following year I was able to get that same assignment through Galt, but it was a different Galt representative that helped me to get the assignment.
