Staff genuinely cares. However they care too much & have no boundaries leading to unhealthy relationships with clients. No privacy among staff and clients. Clients know everything and hear everything. More of a shift report is given by the clients than by staff. Management & Staffing need to be relocated to other facilities as there are constant power struggles and lack of leadership. Techs are belittled to clients by management and counselors in a tug of war of power and authority. Some Counselors have not worked through their own issues and are transferred onto the clients. No support from management. Techs are overworked and underpaid. Tech's are always lobbying to be the client's favorite. Orientation is next to nothing, they just have you sign the papers without actually orienting you. Gossip is horrible and most of it is untrue or a twisted version of the truth and continues to escalate and be blown out of proportion for weeks on end. Building is overrun by mice, mold and mildew and in need of repair & upgrade. If you fall seriously ill while working, they want you to continue working at all cost. Friendships get in the way of management being able to supervise staff and hold staff accountable for job duties. Clients have too much free reign and are catered to, in order to keep the peace. No consequences for serious behaviors which violate rules. A contract is useless. Staff would rather accommodate them than enforce the rules and schedule. No one wants to be the "bad guy."  Clients are too focused on staff than on recovery. No concern for employees well being. Worked with former coworker who was not kind to say the least (unable to go into detail) and not once did anyone in upper level management ask if I was ok. 

Aside of staff genuinely caring, the nursing staff is excellent for the most part, schedules are flexible, some of the counselors and supervisor are excellent and at least try. Most of the techs do their job even tho work load is unproportional. Facility is small, more organization is needed as they do with group homes.

If you are not a male working here you get no respect and men are treated superior over the women. The turnover rate is ridiculous because staff treat other staff with disrespect you get bullied and management doesn't care. You go to management and your concerns are blown off. They don't want to have to put up with it. Management is two faced and talk behind your back to other employees. Nurses hand out the wrong medications to the clients and don't get reprimanded for it or they dont give the meds at all. So it continues to happen. Employees come into work doped up on ativan and pain medication and that's ok. Nurses take home full bottles of medications for themselves. Nurses flip out on other nurses and they don't get reprimanded for it. The boss calls the staff names. They switch your time sheets so you don't get the OT that you have worked. Nurses give out their personal information to clients don't get reprimanded. Nurses come in smelling like alcohol and don't get reprimanded. Constant call offs. Bosses call in prescriptions for employees. You think this is a good place to work but it's not.

I previously was employed at the Mt Zion Facility. I’ve never worked at a place where there was absolutely no teamwork, there was so much unnecessary drama. There was more focus on the drama & petty stuff than on the actual clients trying to get help. The Bha supervisor plays favorites with the Bhas & clients. They all have their little cliques & if you dont entertain their toxic behavior they will do whatever to make you quit or get fired. Plus all the bhas besides one, the only male, all get high either at work or before they come in. That place honestly treats the clients like they’re juveniles locked up, constant write ups for ridiculous reasons. The Nurses also don’t do their job, they all sit in their bubble & tell clients that aren’t feeling well they can’t have bed passes. among all the suboxone they let slide & the clients sell to one another. 

The ONLY enjoyable part of that job was the clients & spreading my message of sobriety to them. 

Working at white Deer Run is always interesting there is always work to do and you are almost never doing the same thing twice. One moment you are selling a tee time to a customer the next you are dressing a table for the following dinner party. Then you could be helping decide what format would look best for the club house services pamphlet for the next year. I have learned it is best to drink your coffee before work because you will never know what will hit you the moment you walk in the door. Management is capable. They are also humble not afraid of helping out or following a suggestion. They are the kind of people anyone would like to work with. Co-workers are varied and knowledgeable.
The hardest part of the job is that the season comes to an end.
The most enjoyable part of the job is working together with everyone to turn challenges into successes.

If you have no experience/education or have been out of the field for a awhile, it's a good place to start. There's a high turnover due to low pay/benefits, no mileage reimbursement, and poor management. 

There's lots of favoritism among staff/staff and staff/clients. There is no staff support and techs and counselors are worked to death. 

This facility constantly ran out of food and served A LOT of rice and beans to the clients. Half a hamburger was not unheard of for a dinner meal. And they often ran out of supplies such as eating utensils.

The most rewarding part of the job is helping clients. You really have to love helping, role modeling, and showing people a different way of life. Patience and respect are vital.

Get your foot in the door here and then go elsewhere or be prepared to have no backup when needed.

I’m a current employee working at White Deer Run Mount Zion has been one of the most challenging jobs I have worked. There is a divide between shifts and departments, and the clients feel it. There are multiple staff members who over step, or break the rules and there seems to be zero repercussions. Upper management does not provide support or solutions. There have been empty promises made to employees about promotions, positive change, and raises.  This is the most unethical work place I have ever worked. I have tried multiple times to bring concerns to management, or the person(s) directly and nothing has changed. I would not recommend anyone to  work at this place, unless something dramatically changes. The best part of the job is working with the clients. 

So the hr people and clinical directors are NEVER on the floor with any of the clients ,so they do not know who these clients are,so,if a client has a issue/complaint with a staff member that is WITH the clients 10 hrs a day,regardless of basis,and with no warnings AT ALL was terminated for confidentiality because of that 1 client...They have fired Soooooo many great BHAs, we could all probably open up our own darn rehab...WORST COMPANY IVE EVER WORKED FOR!

I enjoyed working there until they moved one tech to my shift. Some of the techs are on a power trip and act like drill sergeants, but most are decent.  Job is not hard physically but the mental stress. Overall it was a good place to work. It only takes one employee to ruin a job that is enjoyable and make a facility/ company undesirable to many who don't know better & are jaded by J.S.The sad thing is the ones who suffer are the clients she treats like children and the other employees who actually have integrity It's a shame that one person's actions are the reason for so many negative reactions
