Pros
Good and flexible PTO CEU opportunities
Cons
Salary employees, even upper level providers with 30+ years of experience have to punch a timeclock. Rather degrading at this level of professionalism. High burnout rate due to ever increasing demands and high turnover. Expectations of management are unrealistic and constantly require one to take on additional duties to compensate for lack of staff. They allow no room for error with the additional requirements, either. Documentation is antiquated and cumbersome. While the rest of the world has gone digital, staff are responsible for bucketloads of handwritten documentation that frequently goes missing. There seems to be little respect for the ever increasing amount of repetitive paperwork that staff are required to complete. Compensation is low, and raises happen rarely, if ever. Problems are magnified by the dangerous lack of qualified and professional security officers. With inadequate security, medical and mental health workloads drastically increase with self-injuries, suicide threats, or injuries resulting from violence. Offenders who should be close security, high medical, or higher mental health levels are routinely transferred to facilities that are not equipped to handle them.
