KVC Health Systems reviews

Pay did not commensurate with my education. (master's level) I was paid as much as someone with a bachelor's. Not enough education/training on mental health. Although a 'hands-off' approach to discipline was expected, I saw a lot of people using unethical methods of discipline with the children. It seems that staff was too eager to 'take down' an out of control child often making the situation worse and causing even more trauma to the child. Lots of mixed messages on how to do things. Not enough support for using the computer program to document patient behaviors. ALOT of mean girl clicks in staff making it hard to do my job. Favoritism by some supervisors. I worked both hospital and residential and found this to be true across the board. Organization poor. Relationship between nursing staff and BHC/BHT's strained. While I worked there several male supervisors were fired for inappropriate sexual behavior with clients and staff. Working at KVC was a lot of times like working at a huge high school! Professionalism poor. Supervisors did nothing to get rid of staff who were there for socializing instead of working with at risk kids.

KVC has little "true" care about "people matter" there is a strong mean girls society within the organization and anyone who will not "fall in party line" is terminated or pushed out. They do not train their employees to do their job, they throw them to the wolves and then hold it against the employee as an example to lower performance and inability to complete required tasks. So in turn the employee is punished by a company system failure. In 12 months my department had 19 people (of 22) come and go, biggest complaint, no training lack of leaderships real and just expectations. Immediate supervisor did all they could to protect others in the department but it was not enough she fell on the sword was out spoken and resigned, then she was pushed out and threatened that she would be fired if she didn't leave sooner than her resignation. Several unethical practices witnessed on several levels. If your an individual are or looking to be licensed steer clear as you will find yourself within if not slightly after 12 months wanting out. You may also do unethical things that your told won't come back to you.
