The People

“The people at Gilchrist are some of the nicest, most compassionate people I’ve ever met in my life, and it really creates a great working environment”

“I worked in corporate America for years and reached a point in my life where I wanted to give back to a greater cause. Working at Gilchrist not only provides a sense of work accomplishment but makes me feel like I am making a difference in people’s lives.”

“I have come across the best nurses I have ever encountered while at Gilchrist. Their level of expertise, care and compassion is unmatched.”

The Flexibility

“At Gilchrist, I have an ideal work/life balance. I feel valued and appreciated, and I feel like I’m making a difference in the lives of others. I couldn’t be happier.”

My schedule is consistent, it never changes and I know my days by heart.”

Atmosphere / Co-Workers

“Everyone works together, and it is a very close-knit group. I’ve been at far smaller companies that did not have this. It’s amazing to work for a place that employs 3,800 people, yet everyone seems to know everyone.”

“I’ve never been at a company where so many of the staff have been there 10, 20, 30, and some even over 40 years. They are very flexible with hours, and everyone works together. This is by far the best employer I’ve ever had, and I plan on staying here until I retire.”

“Great insurance, great location, free parking and good benefits!”

“I joined the admissions team in Feb 2020 just before COVID really hit us hard. It was an adjustment to say the least, but I can say that I would not have wanted to go through this time with anyone else, except the wonderful and supportive “family” at Gilchrist.”
