Pros

Rewarding work and the other floor staff are supportive of one another

Cons

Nurse managers and senior management do not take the experience of floor staff into consideration when making decisions. Very unsupportive and lack empathy for the experiences of staff working the floor every day. Understaffed and too many admissions to be sustainable so the psych unit is often acute.

Pros

-Most coworkers are great to work with -Free parking on site, but only have spots available very early in the morning or late afternoon. -Decent cafeteria food, but cross contamination is a worry. They have some allergen friendly items. -Most patients and their families really appreciate the work you do.

Cons

-Extremely low pay even for a non-profit. -Benefits are minimal. -Staff is very inexperienced and undertrained if trained at all. -Senior management does not care to be involved at all in day to day operations. Thus, lower management gets away with many inexcusable and fireable offenses. -Administration/Management people have been around for decades and are stuck in the past. OUTDATED systems. -NO room for growth. Revolving door for lower level employees. -Zero incentives for employees. -Abysmal communication interdepartmental and between departments. -Lack of respect for each other. -Little to no support from management. -Lack of supplies, proper staffing, appreciation, and technology to correctly complete job tasks efficiently and adequately. -Management lies to get you to sign on to work when they are desperate for new hires. They will brush you off as long as they can when you inquire about said promises. -Management is VERY shady and HR does not provide much support when approached. They will make you deal with whatever the issue is yourself. Pattern of overworking and under appreciating quality, hard working staff members that drives them out even when they do not have another job lined up.

Pros

- very kind co-workers who are always willing to lend a hand - everyone there loves kids and will do anything to help them - most classroom spaces are recently renovated - decent cafeteria food - free parking

Cons

- HORRIBLY understaffed to the point of being INCREDIBLY unsafe; left me wondering what DESE would think if they came in and did a random inspection - training for the job is minimal and you're more or less thrown into the the first day not knowing what to expect or what your responsibilities are - training for the job is also not delivered in a timely manner - multiple high priority trainings (lifts, bathroom care, feeding, deescalation/restraints, etc) weren't delivered until days or sometimes weeks after the school year began - every single employee is overworked and stressed out - it wasn't unusual to see multiple people crying in one day and I don't think the administration is even aware of how burnt out everyone is - extremely high staff turnover rate - I saw multiple people leave in the middle of the school year and some didn't even have jobs lined up but they wanted to leave that badly - most members of the administration have been there an incredibly long time and while having years of experience is usually a good thing, it seems they're incredibly rigid and totally unwilling to try new things - there is no set time for educator cohort collaboration meaning that it is up to you to find time outside of regular school hours to seek help from peers
