Pros

The people are awesome and so are the clients. The clients are what will make you want to stick around.

Cons

Some employees and most of the upper managements are hard to deal with. Supervisors & Managers treat employees different depending on shift. Day time is spoiled rotten and unaccountable for their actions, while night time gets to clean up their messes and deal with the back lash from residents. Information changes to fast for employees to keep up with. Important informal meetings only some of the employees to get be apart of and management expect the rest of the employees to get the information pass down to them from day to night and night to day. Managers will scold employees for not knowing information that was not pass down to them from these meetings in the first place. If you don't think the way they want you to they will ask you contently "why do you work here?" If you have been nice enough to work a few extra shifts thats all they expect of you, and they act like you can never say no again. Asking questions is not a good thing, you can be given dirty looks, and even asked "Why are you asking?"

Pros

You are treated like a person with intrinsic value. The care and compassion they have is not only for the patients they care for but for all staff.

Cons

The program used for documentation is far from user friendly and crashes often.

Pros

I got paid. HR was helpful. I loved the patients, they were great. The social workers were nice, One of the techs was amazing.

Cons

They hired me as PRN then scheduled me for full-time hours so they didn't have to pay me benefits. I worked the night shift but there were mandatory daytime meetings we had to go to which messed up my sleep schedule. Nothing essential, nothing that couldn't have been emailed, videoed, or told to us during our actual shift. The training on the different types of mental illness is laughable, over-simplified, and full of stereotypes. There is a shocking amount of mental health stigma from WITHIN the hospital by staff. Workplace bullying.
