This was probably the most humble yet worst place I’ve ever worked. Straight up during orientation they’ll tell you you’re either gonna like it or you don’t. And I liked the children so much, but they’re also the reason I didn’t want to be there anymore. The children are too much, granted it is a psychiatric hospital but if you can’t handle the stress of 9 other kids don’t bother. You’re constantly yelling, constantly having to run and get things, and they’re so understaffed that you’re also alone the entire time. All the other staff are amazing so that’s a benefit. They’re all friendly and helpful. But the managers are okay. You really never have to interact with them thankfully, but to be a company that had literally no employees they aren’t the nicest. They literally  just fired someone for the stupidest reason and the girl just started. She didn’t know any better and they wasn’t trying to hear her reasonable excuse. We have no one and because they don’t have to come down here and work they don’t care. Both the new staff that just got out of orientation is gone. If that don’t tell you to find a new job idk what will.

Millcreek is the worst company I’ve ever worked for. The job is very stressful and demanding, as you’re working with children with severe behavior. With a stressful job already, the pay is stressful. Compensation is already low and they have a top out amount which is VERY low and they make it hard to reach the top out amount by only giving a 0.32% raise every year. On top of that, they want you to do jobs that you weren’t hired to do without compensation. Also, there is no room for advancement. When the company is trying to save money, they have no problem with laying you off to earn them more money and they make a lot off of Medicaid. The company really showed their true colors during the pandemic, laying employees off without pay and cutting off insurance of. After 3 years, I’ve never received a bonus or even a gift card for a holiday to show appreciation. Corporate can come into the building and will not acknowledge staff. Overall, they make it seem as if your job is not important when in reality, if it were not for you the building wouldn’t be able to run! If you have real bills, this is not the job for you!

I worked approximately three months at Millcreek. There was no typical day here. One never knew what to expect. Most days were spent breaking up fights. In most cases, it felt as I was the one fighting. It was difficult dealing with children that has been emotionally and physically abused. However, many of the children didn't belong there. Some of them were there because they had no home or family. The co-workers were not trustworthy. I actually had one co-worker that allowed a child to attack me. I've even seen cases whereas a child would spit, bite, kick, or even hit the staff. The most enjoyable part of the job was the Christmas Holidays. I broughts snacks & drinks for the ones that were unable to go home. After I returned from the holidays, my hours were cut drastically. I only worked perhaps a day or two. Therefore, with poor management I would not recommend this place for employment.

This job is honestly a dream come true if you're looking to gain experience in therapy. I have learned a lot here and have an incredible boss. The therapy department is very close knit and empowering. Your workload is manageable and you afforded tons of flexibility in managing your cases. Average day can include admissions, staffing, discharges, group therapy, assessments, and individual therapy sessions. The hardest part of the job is staying on top of your paperwork and documentation. The most enjoyable part of the job is sharing ideas with colleagues and collaborating with other departments to develop strategies for helping patients flourish. Overall, I love being here and simply need to increase income for supporting my new daughter also accounting for higher cost of living. If money wasn't so important right now I would not even leave!!

What is the best part of working at the company?
The staff keep up alot of gossip and they don't take care of the children the way the need to be taken cared for, the HR speaks to the staff any kind of way and treat them like dogs, try to make you work on your days off as well as try to make you work over without asking you do you already have plans, and also will short you out of money on your check. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everything, the children have no discipline  and you will loose your job if your try to discipline them.

Horrible they don't have any order in the houses, they can't keep workers.

Chaotic. Arbitrary. There's no real direction here.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The kids are NOT the problem, it’s those in upper positions alll of them that control the hours & pay but are sitting nice with their checks. Very stingy company but want to over work you with no pay & don’t make ot it will be taken away or u can volunteer despite needing a lot of help. They would rather hire than allow within. Dead end job , very low pay. Previous therapist.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working for pennies. Not being valued.

Administration sucks. No support from the higher ups. Pay sucks. The kids aren’t the problem, it’s the program itself. I wouldn’t dare recommend my worst enemy to work for such a company. Administration calls all the shots from their cozy offices, and don’t even know any of the kids names. You will be the fault of the kids behaviors because you have no control or leverage on the kids. If you are looking for a mental health job, try else where other than here. 

If you want to work minimum wage with very small pay increase it’s the job for you . I wouldn’t send my daughter here ever . You will work hard for very few hours fighting with kids getting hit punched kicked spit in face lied on . For $8.00 some there are getting paid $7.25 . Save yourself the application and don’t apply here . DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA  worse than IQOR . They all worried about your business and screwing each other . TERRIBLE JOB
