Pros

I worked as a per diem psych RN at Stevens when they were bought out by Swedish (2010-2011). I had a great experience. They dedicated a lot of time and effort to making sure we were oriented well, and they appeared to prioritize staff and patient safety. I liked the fact that they had on-site security. I loved the unit set up (actually two units) - one very restrictive with a high nurse-patient ratio (usually around 1:3), and then patients could "graduate" to a less-restrictive unit. Great co-workers, too!

Cons

My unit management was just okay. They appeared to have little experience in the field and were rarely present on days when I was working.

Pros

+The company is severely incompetent +Trauma-bonding with your co-workers will never be easier

Cons

-Toxic management culture: you'll frequently be brought into full-team meetings where the management will circle-jerk themselves, refuse to listen to team members, change random procedures, then ask why the workers want to unionize. -The company is SEVERELY incompetent: the company blows thousands of dollars on worthless things like their own in-house AI chatbot GPT clone and refuses to spend money on resources wisely while simultaneously complaining about the budget. -Abhorrently dishonest: They let me go after bringing me into a meeting to discuss "communication expectations." They then refused to allow two-party consent for recording, fired me for apparently "violating their standards of protocol", refused to allow me to stay to gather any evidence of their random firing, and refused to respond to any emails to confirm the nature of the meeting. This was ALSO the week before the management promised everyone on our team an annual raise. -Separation is a nightmare: Not only did they lie about the reason for separation before being busted by the state, but they also refuse to cash out PTO time, and HR is a nightmare to work with when confirming details for state services.
