What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management never has your back they are constantly shifting their responsibilities aren't you the rest of the staff causing a massive turnaround. The whole time I worked there every employee was always looking for another job you did not feel heard and could see decisions did not make sense and client care suffered for their decisions. You are underpaid for the job you're asked to do.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Depending on the day and the patients can be a quiet day but some days are very hectic it is a mental health hospital

Great people to work with, good pay, dangerous work environment with little to no support. Policies are constantly changing and it is hard to stay consistent between staff and management. Their motto seems to be reactive and not proactive. Could smell a crisis coming from a mile away and management/administration did not seem to care. All about the INSURANCE MONEY!! Not about good quality health care for mentally unstable individuals. Turn over rate for employees and patients is insane.

I gave this facility 1 because I couldn't go any lower. This place is a nightmare. If you value your nursing license, stay away! The DON is a complete idiot. The nursing supervisors never know what is going on. There are no cameras on the units so basically MHT's are running the place and if DMH saw what was going on, the place would be shut down. No security so get used to getting assaulted frequently and having no support, especially from the Psychiatrists on call, you have to go bang on their door to wake them up to get orders, it's a joke.

I had some health issues right at the beginning so I lost my position at full-time but they didn't let me go and allowed me to work per diem, until things got better, which they never really did for me healthwise but I appreciated they're efforts. Not many companies will do that for you anymore

Employees are constantly being put down by the arrogant, unprofessional upper management! They are very condescending and down right rude. They make everyone’s lives miserable! You are always nervous if it’s going to be you to get fired for no reason. You are always overworked and under paid! They don’t appreciate you at all! It is by far the worst place I’ve ever worked at.
