Pros

World-renowned care, comprehensive clinical evaluation, well-regarded specialists (MDs, PhDs, and social workers)

Cons

I worked at the Pavilion F/T for many years. Though the clinical program can be recommended (see "pros above) in terms of employment, staff has had, for many years, problems with the administration-all of whom have documented histories of lying to, manipulating, and finding reasons for firing good staff. Staff have beaten a well-worn path to HR over the years with complaints. HR provides a forum, appears to listen and maintain objectivity, only to have issues ignored, with no changes made. All efforts on the part of staff over the years to clean up Pavilion administration have been met with stonewalling and condescension. As a result, staff turnover is high, they feel defeated, and morale is chronically low.

Pros

It has a reputation as being the best......whether that is deserved or not, is unclear.

Cons

Anti-union, actively seeking to thwart the direct care workers from organizing. The Human Resource Dept. is nothing more than an extension of Management in this institution. Staff nurses and mental health specialists are considered by many of the management to be expendable commodities. The pay continually claims to be "competitive", but is not, at least as it pertains to direct care staff. Some units are very top heavy with management. Upper management tends to support lower and middle management, despite overwhelming evidence to support extremely unjust and corrupt practices by many of the managers. Company places clinical people, who have no particular skills in management, and who they do not train in these areas, into management positions where they proceed to create chaos and ill will amongst the very people who are doing the bulk of direct care work. These managers are often oblivious to the detriment to the patients that this causes.

Pros

Unique learning opportunities. Make a difference and develop career alongside compassionate colleagues.

Cons

Routinely zero onboarding and a cultural lack of empathy towards newer staff. Experienced multiple instances where middle level managers operated malignantly towards newer&vulnerable staff for months&years without any over-site. There are parallels between the psychological traumas that are treated, and those that are quietly endured by staff.
