More about The Good Shepherd Community

A former prep cook talked about building relationships with tenants. A current employee talked about a hard-working team dedicated to those residents and the mission. You would be looking at $20.60 an hour on the posting that is out there, with no range and no sign-on listed. A car is how you get here and how you get groceries; the average commute is about 15 minutes, transit is thin, and most amenities are a drive. Houses in Sauk Rapids tend to sit on the cheaper side. Costs run below average, crime is low, and schools and health facilities are described as solid. A former employee called it a burnout job. That belongs in the same picture as the team and the tenants. Minnesota is not a compact-license state, so you would need a Minnesota license to start.
