Inconvénients
Upper management penalizes staff without meeting with them to address issue. If you keep your mouth shut and smile a lot you will do well. If you point out serious problems that need to be fixed, or disagree with management on any point, you risk immediate termination. I have seen that happen to nearly a dozen staff members as well as myself. The addicts and homeless are on the honor system and are simply asked if they have any weapons or drugs in their pockets, of course they always say no, then later they are cutting themselves or overdosing on pills. Patients who have assaulted or stalked staff are not banned, because it is "due to their illness," and we can over bill Medicaid whenever they come into the building to yell at us or expose themselves. We are not allowed to warn other staff about the patient with hepatitis B who likes to spit at staff, or the patient who carries 2 knives and has repeatedly threatened to murder staff, because it "violates their right to privacy." And this is why half the counselors are on anti-anxiety meds.
