Gospel-Rescue-Mission

I thoughly enjoyed working in this kitchen at Gospel Rescue Mission especially under the supervision of Ed Fong and Lisa Statler who not only were my supervisors but my mentors. I was blessed to have been working along side two ladies who become my friends and team players of which we all got along and worked really well together.  Everyday coming in to volunteer was for a happy day knowing that I was working with a team where we all got along and enjoyed each other's company to get the job done. We all helped each other out often and put smiles on the other ladies faces making their difficult times easier with our daily desserts we made. 
To be honest the hardest part of the job was leaving when my time was up. I learned that you can work in a stressful environment under pressure and have a fun too!!
Out of my entire employment this was the best place to work because it had more meaning for me!!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Helping the unfortunate get off the streets and watching them transform back into the bigger community financially stable

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working with people who do not have the same ambitions you have about the job

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is very rapid there's a lot of movement there from the guests a lot of needs to be met and it stays busy on a day-to-day basis

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day for me at the gospel rescue mission is searching through the guest property assigning them of bed giving them extra clothes to wear hygiene products feeding them lunch and showing around the gospel on their first day doing intake

I don't get the feeling that upper management truly knows how things are actually going outside the "ivory tower" they stay in majority of the time. you only seem to see upper management when they're giving a tour to someone with deep pockets. the day to day operations i feel are foreign to them. I also feel that God and prayer are used more as an easy way out of dealing with issues instead of dealing with them the way managers should. GRM does great things, but the credit goes to the dedicated employees that truly put in the work. unfortunately they seldom get acknowledged.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The ability to help others make positive life changes

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Seeing clients lose their sobriety 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It is a good place to work with supportive coworkers and administrators 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Greet clients and co-workers.  Spend time aiding clients in whatever is needed. Take care of paperwork. Put all data in the computer. Sometimes take a lunch. Work in the clothing closet.

Great cause. Poorly executed. The leadership is hippocritical. They talk about christ and then they sit in their offices all day and do nothing. No humility. Maybe there wouldn't be so much turnover if they didn't use up their employees and bury them with work and no support. Forget about accountability.  It's a free for all. They'll ask you to work all the time and then yell at you for being on overtime. No fun. High stress and they hide behind God the whole time. God says we can't pay you what you deserve and so on. Don't do it. 

The administrative staff is completely unsupportive. You are lead to 'pray' through difficulties rather than receive guidance and support.
The Executive staff NEVER interacts with the guests, therefore they do not know how to meet the needs of the population. The micromanagement from HR makes it nearly impossible to perform the job you are hired for. This is evident through the extremely high turnover. The culture is VERY cliquey. You are told who you can talk to and who you can't. 

•	Directed daily community meetings, discussed recovery skills and supported residents.
•	Collaborated with supervisors to make ongoing improvements to the recovery-based program.
•	Supervised and coached diverse peers diagnosed with depression, bi-polar disorder, post-traumatic stress, severe anxiety, and schizophrenia. 
•	Tracked and documented volunteer hours and activities completed.  Provided reports to supervisors.
•	Maintained a clean and organized environment.

The ministry that was given to me at the GRM was challenging and rewarding. I was given the responsibility of preaching three Sundays a month and every Thursday evening along with a weekly Bible study on Wednesday mornings which developed in to a community prayer meeting. I saw lives being changed and it is a great place to start if you wish to go into ministry.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working in the kitchen. Learning how to be more efficient.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not being able to work as long as I want.

Great atmosphere and safe learning experience.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Quick and easy pace. Great experience.

This is an amazing organization that provides lots of hands-on experience with humanities. A great place to grow your skill in humanities. GRM does great work! The work is difficult but rewarding. There have been improvements in adding female executive leaders to the organization.
