Professionals at SMH/Pioneer Behavioral Health are treated very poorly.

Case manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Obtain experience rarely offered at other agencies.

Cons

Case managers are treated as though they are expendable. Management and supervisors seem to share the philosophy of 'weeding out' employees rather than any other type of leadership philosophy that might include educational models. The psychiatrists vary in their approach to the consumers.

Management treats all staff poorly and shows little to no care for them whatsoever.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Paid time off is decent; 26 days per year

Cons

- Management treats all inpatient staff very poorly. - Inpatient staff only ever hear anything from management when it's bad feedback, leading to low morale and burnout. - When they want an employee gone (for example, because an employee reported a nurse to the state for violating federal HIPAA laws), they will target that employee by abusing the security camera system and filling in any blanks any way they see fit.
