Pros

There are some really great people working there who truly care about the individuals we were serving. Others, not so much, they cared more about the money and politics of things - they are very knowledgeable though. It's a mixed bag. I loved the team I worked with!

Cons

I became burned out, and I saw a lot of other good people experience the same thing. Communication and trust are issues there. Upper management would benefit from working on this area. You work long hours, do difficult things, do not receive a lot of support (at least in many people's experience) and then finally you are just done.

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.
