Security Officer Confesses - Security Officer Springs Rescue Mission Employee Review

Amazing place to work. I would have stayed had I not moved away.

You have to be okay with constant change.

The organization has strong community visibility, passionate employees at the ground level, and the potential to make a significant impact in Colorado Springs.

In mid-2025, SRM terminated more than 30 employees, roughly 30% of the company, citing financial concerns and restructuring, while executive leadership simultaneously received substantial raises (this is a FACT, look at their financial audit and form 990). For many employees, this created a deep sense of distrust, frustration, and hypocrisy within leadership. Communication from executives often felt disconnected from the realities staff were experiencing on the ground, and morale across departments suffered significantly. Frequent restructuring, unclear direction, and reactive decision-making created an unstable work environment where many employees felt undervalued, expendable, and burned out.
