● Work-life balance
The schedule is conducive for work life balance but the employee turnover is so high that the hospital is usually short of staff and need employees to work overtime

● Pay & benefits
Corona Virus is running rampant at the facility and the facility does not care enough about its employees or patients to take appropriate measures to stop the spread of COVID 19. They are currently in their SECOND massive COVID outbreak and still forcing social workers to work with clients, unprotected, and without hazard pay. They still neglect fully mix positive COVID staff with negative COVID staff and doing the same with patients!!! The owner is a delusional narcissist, so even the Health Dept would not be able to get her to comply with State Regulations.

● Job security and advancement
They are short staffed with security and they are not currently teaching CPI, which is aimed at improving employee safety. Employees are frequently getting injured and the administration does NOT care.

● Management
I would not work there unless you have nowhere else to work. The doctors are knowledgeable and friendly but the owner will pay as little as she can, not offer performance reviews or advancement and will put your health and physical being in danger without any second thought.

● Culture
You will meet many wonderful people (your coworkers), but if you value your health or professional license—this is NOT the place to work.

● Overall
This is the most terrible, unprofessional place I have ever worked. It will probably be forced to close down soon; as employees are quitting in droves.

When hired they make it seems like the perfect job and if you ask questions or need help you're told by management that you don't need to know that or don't worry about that. No training, no help, they throw you to the wolves and blame you for everything.  My boss would be in a bad mood so she'd wait till 9 or 10 at night to text or email something ugly to me and blame me for something. She loved to act like a child and argue over text or email with you and its funny her boss was on it too and just sat back and let it happen knowing she was in the wrong. Set me up for failure cause they didn't provide me with the tools I needed for marketing out in the field. I begged for months for business cards, brochures, a laptop and phone. It took about 3 months or so for that and they finally finished the brochures right before I left. Place is dirty and old and they don't care like they make you believe......the new sober living is a joke and the one guy who paid to stay there was treated ugly. He lived without AC for a month cuz they were too cheap to fix it and got mad the one time he complained. Then covid and they kicked him out saying he had to go and its not a big deal he was just hanging out..No he was paying rent to stay there and stay sober. Back stabbing, no support from management or peers and the director of it all was very unprofessional, mean and hateful and a big time micro manager.......good luck to the next victim cause nothing you do will be good enough

This is an exciting time for Northlake Behavioral Health Hospital - 
Northlake is rebuilding its team. We have been granted a substantial SAMSHA Grant that will enable us to offer more programs and services to our community. Now, a 501c-3 organization, our mission is to serve everyone suffering from mental illness regardless of their ability to pay.
We are looking for compassionate employees who want to make a difference in the field of mental health. We will train those whom may not have experience in the field of mental health but whom are compassionate for those patients suffering from its disabling effects. 
This is the fourth psych hospital that I have worked with in the area. I have had negative experiences in all of them except for Northlake.
I am an experienced professional and am very good at what I do.  I have never felt more appreciated, more accepted and more challenged to create a better place for patients and their families.  The new management team is committed to building a top notch organization.  
Join us...... come be a part of something great!!!!!

There were several openings for an Admissions counselor when I applied.  Admissions counselors assess potential clients, call insurance companies for pre-authorizations, complete all admissions paperwork, enter client info in the database. 

I did this exact job for 4.5 years at a psychiatric hospital in New Orleans, and although I didn't have a management title, I ran that department when the supervisor was not there.  I was available and willing to work any shift, and I had the required degree, so there should have been no question about my qualifications.  

However, the interviewer (who had an attitude) said that because the experience was not in the past 2 years, it didn't count.  Come on, the job duties haven't changed that much!

So as far as she was concerned, I had no experience.  Of all the ridiculous excuses not to hire a competent and qualified person for a job -- just say you only hire friends, and be done with it.

Oh well it was their loss, because now I'm clinical director of an agency, making 5x what I would have made there.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
For me the best part of working for this company is the talent that they are bringing in and the leadership they are bringing with them! It just keepsgetting better all the time. I see improvements in every department all over the campus. The work that’s being done is phenomenal. The culture has changed and is very positive. I enjoy coming to work every day and the people I work alongside with.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I love my job and I do it very well so my stress level is not very high. I also take care of myself away from work so I think that’s a big part of it.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Again, the company has brought in new awesome leadership across the board and the culture is moving in the right direction. It’s very positive!


What is a typical day like for you at the company?
My typical day is getting done what I need to do each day that’s important to complete the day and not carryover work that needs to be completed.

What is the best part of working at the company?
SOME of the people who worked there were ok.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everything. Employees don't really matter as long as there is a warm body in the position. No paths for raises, promotion, or any type of success within the Companies structure. Zero respect for employees, which translates to zero respect for patients and their families.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
One way or the high way... No input for streamlining processes, creative methods, or making environment better allowed. Misery is required, especially by Administrator. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Early morning slashing of your work from previous day; unless you are praising Management. Zero praise FROM Management; only criticism of your work and attitude ... Which disintegrates employees will and desire to do a good job.

A Place where passion meets purpose- with room to grow
Working at NBHS has shown me that success and mental healthcare truly depends on having a passion for what you do. This fair requires compassion flexibility in the wilderness to make changes and adjustments as needed every day presents new challenges and being a team players essential to provide the best care file clients. While there are areas that could be improved like communication and workflow process. These are not uncommon in any organization with time patients a shared commitment to growth. I believe these challenges can be addressed the work we do is meaningful and when everyone brings a heart and teamwork to the table, it makes a real difference.


I had been an employee at NBHS onlyfor a short time. And in the short time I was there, the constant codes called, the inside temp at night was ridiculous "freezing", MHT;s are responsible for a vast amount of  responsibilities and the ratio of staff to patients are sad. NBHS  are greatly under staff, specifically NYA. There is no structure, for the kids. The hardest part of the job was working with staff. Management is unconcerned when it comes to staff concerns. Management were taking camera snapshot pictures of staff sleeping passing them around, very unprofessional. The Director ignored staff concerns when voiced.There are only 2 males on night shift, females are placed on units alone with 7 or 8 males. The things that were presented and demonstrated in orientation, were not at all what was experienced for NYA. The most enjoyable part of the job was getting to know the patients.

i interviewed with this company and the position I thought I was interviewing for is not the one the interviewer wanted me for.  I thought i was interviewing for a M - F day position and the interviewer was pushing me for an evening CNA position.  The interviewer is very pushy and did not really care very much about anybody's needs but her own.  I really feel bad for the people working there.  The lady at the front desk was telling me that she is being pushed into working evening or nights and was trying to get her to quit.  I have worked for companies like this before and its much cheaper to lay off a worker that has been there for 90 day and hire new people.  Most companies will do this to not pay for benefits and stuff like that.  Please take caution when interviewing or applying to this company.  The pay is not worth the duties.
