Pros
Pay is in the upper range for this area Presentation to new employees is great--friendly, warm, welcoming Nursing staff and direct care staff are great to work with
Cons
-New employees do not receive adequate orientation and are included in staffing count before receiving unit training creating dangerous situations for patients and staff -HR Director finds a way to get rid of employees who ask too many questions -Patient safety issues are ignored: contraband items (such as glass containers and belts) are commonly found in rooms of patients who have been designated as suicidal/self injurious/assaultive--when employees complain about this they are labeled 'troublemakers' -Promotions and advancement opportunities have no established criteria other than being friends with the right people -No credit/recognition for advancing your education -Older employees (>40 y.o.) are looked over in favor of younger employees with less experience and less education -Employees who question unsafe practices are ostrasized.
