This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

The captains of the Gainesville, Florida mission are discriminatory towards their employees regarding health issues and if you elect not to attend their Church mission they harass you at work and make impossible demands of you. The captain's wife even refers to herself as "Little Hitler". This sounds really Christian right? That has to be the most awful name to call yourself next to satan as a Christian. They use scare tactics as managers and steal items from the donation bins to take home for use themselves instead of selling it through the thrift store as the salvation army code book decrees. These people are giving the local salvation army a bad name :-/

Purchased a CD from this store then I discovered it stolen from the case. Asked for a refund and was denied and was told to select something else which I wasn't intersted in doing. Stores like this that do not give refunds need to do a number system without leaving CD's and DVD's in their actual cases until purchased. That way consumers and store owners are protected from this in the future. MORAL OF THE STORY IS: DO NOT BUY FROM STORES THAT DO NOT GIVE REFUNDS!

I was a so called patient at the Oregon rehabilitation center on 6855 NE 82nd ave. Portland. It was the worst place I could ever imagine. When I got there it was run very poorly by Dennis Earnhardt and his wife. Both were absolute thieves and were caught on numerous occasions stealing the jewelry out of the boxes in the warehouse. Shredding files at 2am with 2 shredders going. any cash that was foolishly turned in disappeared into their pockets. He is the most evil man ive ever met, a close 2nd is the facility manager who's name is Charles Lincoln, a true disgrace to humanity. Charles is a very sick individual, who suffers from multiple personalities and is a control freak like the world has never seen. He loves to punish people on a daily basis. My counselor didn't believe me when I told her about him and how he talks to people, until she witnessed it first hand and could not believe that a monster like him even had a job being in charge of a facility much less anyone at all. Charles Lincoln is a lunatic and needs to be removed period. People leave there in droves because of him and the major and Neil, all former addicts. The warehouse is soo filthy everyone gets sick and if you cant work then they open the door and tell you to get out. If you address and issue then Charles yells at you and I mean YELLS at you, that he's busy or turn in a slip, which you might as well light on fire as you will get nowhere at all. Their rules are the most idiotic ive ever heard of. Cant wear shorts even in 100 degree weather only long pants, socks, shoes, a collard shirt. no sandals. no sunglasses, no sunscreen, walk a mile to the bus stop. get 1 bus pass a week. they put everyone on food stamps and they sure as hell don't use the money for us. all their food is virtually free, I worked in the kitchen for 3 months. they get 6000 lbs of food per month for $100, and yes you heard that right 6000 lbs. The corruption there is unreal. The only good people there is the old retired couple that still work there as volunteers. they are amazing wonderful people. 88 and 86 yrs. old. I wish I knew who to contact to get a person with some authority to eliminate Charles Lincoln. The Earnhards were removed and sent to Arizona and not fired UNREAL. Dennis Earnhardt spent 18 months in prison for tax evasion, while working a the salvation army. The new majors are better but not much, they all seem to be cut from the same cloth. Its guaranteed that they pay the government off to turn a blind eye to them. They are the 2nd biggest land owners in the U.S. and have properties in 186 countries, especially Australia. They need to shut down the facility in Portland now. These people need to be procecuted.

Atlantic City NJ Salvation Army is understaffed and disorganized. The staff is unfriendly and the wait times exceed 45 minutes.

The volunteer at 8500 Mentor Ave. Mentor, Ohio 44060 on Tuesday ( Dec. 4th) evening needs to be reminded on the proper behavior that Salvation Army supports. He was witnessed asking an employee for her number and getting into three employee's personal space.

Thank you for your attention to this matter,

I was given a 25% off any one item coupon the last time I donated to the Pasadena CA Salvation Army. I attempted to use the coupon to purchase a regularly-priced item on 13 Sept and the sales associate informed me that the coupon was not valid at that location. What's going on here?

I am having to set here for 2 hours earlier than my visitation just to be able to see my kid not to mention the facility is usually about 40 minutes late on bringing my child. They are very rude won't work with me on a time that works best with me. This is all uncalled for. Something else needs to be done.

When in today to see if they had clothing voucher and the worker gave me the ugliest look and was so non professional. For maybe he needs to find another job if he doesn't like homless people.

The past year the Salvation Army has priced their items above the retail price as a new item. As the store keeps getting full, the concern of having pest and over full store is high. I saw furniture priced as high of 1500 and shoes for $150. An insvestigation needs to be done on this store to see whats going on, is this no longer a non profit.
