The-Sunrise-House

Expect to be talked to like dirt by your superiors, to stay for a double shift due to poor scheduling (16 hours), and to adhere to constantly changing procedures that are poorly written and never fully explained. Half the staff are pleasant and half behave abhorrently towards staff and patients. They have unacceptable practices that do not adhere to state guidelines in treating addiction. This is not a place you want to work unless you are desperate. Constant drama and mental manipulation with zero leadership or accountability. No holidays, terrible benefits/insurance - Would not recommend. The place is a zoo, where some treat the patients like animals. It's really that bad unfortunately. 

When I worked here, it was nights. Just me and the cameras. I had a chance to work on school work, or my books as long as I kept to my main job of counting pills, cleaning the house, and making sure the residents didn't run and were safe all night. My favorite part was being able to bring my dog, Blizzard. She was requested so that the girls in the home would feel safe. The hardest part of the job was also the most enjoyable, that being the rare occasion any of the girls were up and needed someone to talk to. It did happen, but not often, as they were not supposed to be up unless it was an emergency. I left because I felt unsafe and because I wanted to get experience somewhere else. I didn't interact with my fellow employees that much, but I liked and respected those I did for the most part.

Leadership/management = incompetence. They have zero understanding of the workflow  nor do they care to learn. Policies change so often  to suit their needs the staff are never able to be on the same page. 99% of policies are never explained to staff and  make no sense. They care more about $ than  quality of care . The staff try but are constantly pulled in multiple directions. It’s totally an unsafe environment. Staff are undervalued and overwhelmed . Clients do not get the care and structure they need. Call center will tell them anything to get them in and once they see they were lied to and want to leave they get told it’s AMA.  Greedy incompetent company. 

People who are in management level positions have no business  being in thise positions. They allow miscommunication , unethical behavior, and overall ineptitude to perpetuate, and therefore, not only do the patients receive poor care, but the staff who actually perform their jobs with skill and compassion must do double the amount of work and attempt to constantly fix mistakes.
You will be undervalued and constantly written up by those trying to deflect and cover up for their own deficits and lack of ethics.
I wouldn't send my family member here for treatment.

No sitting. EVER. As a Behavioral Health Technician you are constantly walking on concrete floors watching the patients. Constantly. No breaks. If you ask for a break the supervisor gives you are hard time. He actually said to me, "A break? I don't get breaks."

You have to have your meals with the patients and watch them while you eat. The compensation for this? Your meal is free. Big whoop. You're time is not your own for nine hours.

Yes, they are slave drivers and the pay is very poor for the responsibility you have. Better to work at Wal Mart and wait for something better to come along.

No breaks. I actually had to finally request my fifteen minute break, then I was fired two weeks later! You are expected to constantly walk on concrete floors observing patients, which is okay, but you can never sit for a few minutes and on top of that you don't get breaks!!! Who can walk for 8 1/2 hours? Dinner break is with the patients and you are expected to continue to observe the patients while you are eating in case anyone tries anything. So basically, no breaks whatsoever.

It's illegal, but hard to prove and not worth the aggravation. Did I mention the pay is low, too?

I worked here for many years . Only got a raise once then it was taken away. Management is horrible, they threatened people all the time and NEVER support their employees in anything. Be prepared to always be wrong .New company AAC  that bought it is even worse. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this place. They also treat their clients poorly. Staff tries with clients but they are so overworked and under paid that they can not do the jobs they are capable of. It is very sad to know that the owner is just in it for the money and cares nothing for the employees or clients.

I started out working here part-time as a receptionist. 
As a behavioral technician jobs became available I applied and was hired.
Yes you do a lot of walking however that is a good thing and your break include free meals with other staff as well as the time you spend monitoring clients in meetings.
I feel people in a few other reviews wanted to just sit around the whole night .You can learn a lot contribute a lot and if you let yourself become part of an amazing community of workers

I truly enjoyed working at sunrise house as a CNA. I only worked there for a few months due to the travel being too far for the pay rate I was given. I found all the staff to be very kind to the patients and professional and I felt that every person that worked there had the patients best interest in mind. 

this is a FOR PROFIT facility....accent on the PROFIT, not patients, or employees.
constant short staff-exacerbated by constant call ins. food is awful- nothing works- computers, plumbing,heat etc. 
there is no admission staff- the staff nurses are responsible for admissions- in addition to their regular duties... the admission program is cumbersome ..at best.

just stay away!
