Pros

Pay was alright but they scammed me out of a sum of money. I worked through the closure of the hospital and was told I'd get three months of my pay. Prior to the hospital closing, I had put in notice that I would be leaving the company, but I figured that since I had worked through the closure of it, I would be entitled to all three months of that pay. They ended my pay when the date on my notice came.

Cons

When I first got there, the staff:patient ratio was about 1:7. Towards the end, it had climbed up to 1:10-15. They didn't want to schedule enough techs to cover each shift adequately. This is not only dangerous for patients as staff are needed to physically restrain patients if they attempt to hurt themselves or others, but also dangerous for the staff. Since we were under scheduled, the staff that was there would be unable to leave their station in such an event and hardly anyone was available to respond to the codes.

Pros

I've worked different positions in different behavioral hospitals throughout the years and Rock Prairie gets a lot of things right. In my experience, direct staff genuinely care about patients. The grounds are clean. The facility is modern and very nice. There are very good systems in place and very detailed policies and procedures that make sense are centered around trauma informed patient care and safety. Two-way communication between entry level positions, middle management and senior leadership is encouraged. The pay is competitive and even better than in some other larger markets.

Cons

Behavioral health is a tough field to work in. It is easy to get burned out if you don't find a work-life balance. Leadership changes lead to culture change and many people don't like change for better or worse. It is hot and cold throughout different areas of the hospital which may not be unique to many large buildings but offices may be cold and hallways may be hot or vice versa. The soda fountain carries Pepsi, not Coca Cola.
