Pros

Since there is a 20 word minimum I have to expand on this and make this as long as possible as I explain the only good thing was the amount of pay.

Cons

NCHC does not care about the employees; only what the employees can produce. So much emphasis is placed on productivity, the client is no longer the focus, although they claim it is. As a mental health facility, you'd think NCHC would be a positive,nurturing place to work- however this is not the case!! You are told you are replaceable on a daily basis, your self-esteem is zapped, and your confidence stolen. Furthermore, management has it's "favorites" and acts like a highschool clique with the Ice Queen/ Grim Reeper leading pack and several clonies with the same personality following behind her.

Wow, this post hit me and tells me that our sense of urgency around improving our leadership is key for our future. I am glad we were able to the satisfaction mark on the pay you received for the work you did here at NCHC. We continue to put a priority of providing market competitive pay as a strength of our value proposition as a healthcare provider in North Central Wisconsin. As I eluded to, leadership is critical to a positive work environment and we believe people their direct supervisor first and the organization second. It is their relationship with their direct supervisor that is the most important aspect of the work environment and where our reputation is made or broken. That relationship starts the leaders at the top. We are committed to continuing to upgrade ourselves as leaders to deliver on providing the best working environment for our staff. Our commitments to employee recognition, development and appreciation are key areas of focus as we keep our main focus on the client.

Pros

Decent pay for around the area.

Cons

Constant turnover (orientations are held nearly twice a month), bad management who micromanage with old-school mindset (i.e. "we've done it this way, so we'll keep it this way"), preemptive and passive aggressive policies based on previous employees' actions and not current (no WFH even in bad weather conditions). Trainers will say they are "there for you" but will throw you under the bus when things go south. Department employees pretend to have culture and care for clients but bad mouth situations, clients, and colleagues behind closed doors.
