This place is deplorable. Doctors/Therapists keep patients there longer in order to benefit from extra insurance money. In fact, they receive bonuses in pay based on the amount of billable hours they have, aka 'time with patients' or 'time to make your loved one stay in hospital.' Patients are not given nearly enough attention. The place is shamefully understaffed. Staff is horrible uninviting to new employees, voicing their annoyance in front of other staff and an entire floor of patients. Staff is often underqualified to work here and many have little to no knowledge of behavioral health. Patients are treated poorly because of staff ignorance to behavioral health needs and improper patient/staff communication methods. Staff tends to assume an authoritarian rather than therapeutic role while speaking to patients. They talk openly about their dislike of other coworkers within earshot of patients and other employees. Management works incredibly slow and, a lot of times, it is easier to avoid speaking to them at all. On top of all of this, proper biological hazard protection is either neglected by or unknown to many staff members. Patients and staff are frequently exposed to potential viral or bacterial concerns. Save yourself the trouble and stay far away from here. You will leave worse than when you came in, and NEVER send your family to this place. They will keep your loved one longer than necessary so they can accrue more of your insurance funds. I feel accomplished in that I took the time to write this review. Someone had to do it, and hopefully something good will transpire as a result.

they post schedule 2 days before last day. how you make appts? youll be walk-in only for your doctor, your hair, your specialist, you won't be able to make appointment because they tell you one schedule then change it with 2 days notice. you have to call off and have bad attendance because they can't schedule right. only job i ever had with such bad schedule. it's a easy job, but ill probably be fired for going to my appointments. i made my appointments with the schedule they promised me with signatures in writing, but they change it with 2 days notice... why did we sign that paper? every time they post a schedule it's 2 days before the last day. I never had a job that let the schedule run all the way out every 3 weeks. it's so terrible. they make you work FOUR 12 hour shifts the week of a holiday, they don't just change your schedule and put you on the holiday and take you off another day, they add the holiday and make you work 48 hours like you signed up for overtime. when i got hired, it was for 36 hours, not 48. as soon as i call off for my doctors appointment, i'll get a note that says i can't work 4 days. they don't care about your life. they think you don't have one. it's not like any other hospital, every third weekend, you'll work every other weekend even if you sign agreement in writing that says every third weekend. they don't honor their own words, they don't respect your time.

I have been with this company for several years and through many directors and CEOs. It is a behavioral health company that doesn't care anything about employees mental health. The corporate office seems to have forgotten the mission. They don't support staff at the hospital, they create more work for people at the hospital. Outside of my direct supervisor many of the other managers and directors are rude to other employees and each other. Very little respect is given. The company as a whole makes it very clear through their actions which roles at the hospital matter and which ones they probably do not need. If you are in any kind of support role, they see you as very unnecessary. Would like to see them try to run a hospital without reception, business office, housekeeping etc. I only continue to stay here because I am very supported by my manager. No one seems to understand how important respect and appreciation are for staff. The HR manager is the absolute worst person in the whole company. If you have any problems do not go to them. They are mean, vindictive, and walk around angry at the world. Everyone is afraid of them. It's a joke throughout the hospital. 

management is absolutely terrible. threaten jobs daily over small things. nothing productive gets done. terrible turn over rate. hire people in at more money, but won’t improve current employees pay. always lying to protect themselves and to benefit themselves. so much gossip, but administration/management claims it isn’t them when it is. they make up rules and regulations as they go to benefit them. it’s very clear the staff off the floor don’t care about the patients, just the money and protecting their jobs, at the cost of the PCAs and nurses on the floor. not safe at all, staff often gets hurt and upper management does not care. they pretend they do. very rewarding job, but not worth the stress and anxiety. you can only get threatened with getting fired so many times. or blamed for things out of your control so many times before you break. they run the good, caring employees out the door. there is also clear favoritism between staff and it shows. there’s a reason why the turnover rate is so bad… it’s the management.

Partial Hospitalization program days move very quickly with 4 or 5 psycho-educational or psycho-therapeutic groups per day 6 days a week. During breaks between groups I would either assess patients or complete treatment plans with them. Multidisciplinary treatment team meetings daily.  
I learned how to triage crises, budget my time and do a high-volume of work in a short period of time. 
Management is hands-off affording me a great deal of autonomy and creativity. 
Workplace culture is cordial and formal. Professionalism was maintained at all time due to the presence of patients. 
The hardest part of the job was hand-written paperwork and lack of electronic health records. 
The most enjoyable part of the job was time with patients and watching move from illness to wellness, mentoring and teaching newer clinicians and supportive and generous team culture.

I've been at Beckett Springs almost three years and have gotten more opportunity to develop as a professional and to learn/expand my skills more than in any other job I've had in almost 2 decades.  We work really hard here, no doubt, but the work is so important and makes a difference - feels good to know what we accomplish as a team every day.  The leadership team really respects the work that nursing, therapy, housekeeping, everyone does and the culture is such that everyone pitches in when they see something that needs done.  There are numerous projects and committees that are focused on making sure that the hospital is safe for patients and staff and that the work that is being done is effective.  I love coming to work every day and am excited to see what else we can do as a facility to make an impact on the people who come to us for services.

When I started it was a good job and I liked it.  Over the years, it became unbearable due to understaffing and poor management.  I would highly recommend that you look elsewhere for employment.  They have no security so, the staff are expected to intervene when a patient has a psychotic break.  I have seen several staff members injured and, one in particular, a staff members jaw was broken by a patient.  This is a very unsafe facility!  Don't put yourself at risk, because no one in middle management or upper management really cares about staff or patients.  This company is "for profit" and this is obvious from the start.  Run!  The best part of the job was payday.  Management is non-existent.  The hardest part of the job is showing up for work.  The most enjoyable part of the job is going home after work.

It’s very challenging to do your job effectively with the intervention specialist/PCA and the “team lead” constantly micromanaging and controlling every move. This team reacts negatively when you set boundaries or express a different opinion, often responding with disrespect. The environment feels unprofessional and tense, with frequent interpersonal conflicts that impact teamwork. Many staff could benefit from more training in professional communication and collaboration.

Pros:

Opportunity to help clients


Cons:

Micromanagement

Poor team dynamics

Lack of professionalism

Challenging workplace culture







The turnover continues. Administrative staff, not supportive. Poor management. Disorganization is a mainstay. The employees and coworkers are great; the medical staff is wonderful. But, as the great ones leave they are replaced  by incompetent staff.  Safety is becoming a huge concern. Its A For Profit facility and that's the bottom line. The pay is above most but,  you have to be willing to sacrifice the quality of care for quantity of care. So if you can do that then it's a job for you. The facility is beautiful  and it appears that it would be state-of-the-art but, it is behind times. So if your old fashion and like paper charts then it's the place for you. But, when you spend more time doing paper work than patient care, it's not a happy trend.
