NHS Human Services Employer Reviews

Decent organization. No major dislikes or likes to comment about the organization.

Horrible upper management in behavioral health; Constant criticism with no recognition; Upper management takes the credit for what others are doing; Never get paid correctly; Constantly trying to figure out my pay; Horrendous and confusing paperwork. Work someplace else.

You've really hit bottom when you are working for NHS. Regrettably, I worked for them as a TSS in a local primary school for two years. You only get paid when the child you work with is in school on a particular day and then only when you are actually with the child. Low hourly rate, no benefits unless you pay into them, terrible moral among employees, – more... due to the very poor treatment of employees and the culture of an almost totally dysfunctional organization at the managerial level.

Remarkably, we were expected to do paperwork (writing daily reports, etc.) on our own time with no pay.

Even during the worst of the economic downturn, there were always TSS openings with this agency. – less

It can be a better work place with the right runners. I had a huge work load was very busy until company downsize and I got laid off.

No training for any employee who gets hired. It's sink or swim and then questioned, written up and fired for not doing the responsibilities of the job. Management put expectations on the staff that were unrealistic and the jobs of the mangers. The managers were all on a personal level at work and outside of work. Management was rude, sarcastic, and – more... never available. You would be lucky to see a manager once in a month, if that. They only hired friends, family, and significant others. The clients were spoke to in disrespect and stripped of their rights. This was the worst company I ever worked for. They should be investigated and closed down. – less

I have worked for this company for 1 year and 10 months. It is the most poorly managed company. Turnover is high because you dont get raises. Management does not want to help out when you need time off. Its sad. He residents don't have enough food to last during the month. They get $350 twice a month. They eat processes can foods. They hardly ever have – more... real activites to do daily. They don't do anything but sit all day if they don't have a program. They cut hours because of their screwed budget. If u need a job they will hire you but, you can't advance unless your buddy buddy with someone. They don't allow you to call HR and handle your own personal business. They say its part of chain of command. I have never heard of HR being any part of command. There is no loyalty to employees. – less

I loved the work I did here, however the managment was horrible. I felt "set up" and constantly felt like I would never work to their expectations, in which they themselves didn't work to. Was expected to know what my job duties were without being told or trained on it. If the Director desn't like you, your life will be miserable.

I worked with this company for almost ten years and it was the best organization that I have ever worked for. I have had other good job experiences, but these guys are the BEST!!! Benefits and compensation are spectacular...I even received vision insurance. The values that I learned while working at NHS carries over to everyday life. It empowers you – more... and makes you a better person all around. I hope to return to this organization in the very near future....I miss them so!!! – less

Nhs used to be clinically solid but is now more likely to cross professional boundaries. In my current role as a Director with another agency, my staff and I have witnessed NHS employees hugging, kissing, and holding the hands of adult clients with severe mh issues. NHS used to encourage collaboration with outside agencies but now outside agencies are – more... treated like the enemy. As a manager for NHS I felt as though I had to defend my staff and myself at all times. Wages were low for both myself and my staff. The management culture was cut throat, esp within the executive team. The assistant director was constantly trying to undermine the director. The director was constantly trying to stay one step ahead of the assistant director. You felt as though you had to take sides and if you didn't you were targeted. As a manager you were expected to work 24/7. Emails at all hrs and you were expected to respond. It was a draining experience. – less

A typical day is coming in giving the clients their medicationg, prepare there meals, bathing and grooming, some lifting, and little housekeeping. The staff there are very friendly and hardworking.

A typical day at work can often be grueling but the best part is that the people I work with and for are wonderful. Being surrounded by these amazing group of folks makes a busy or slow day go by fast. My department consists of a small group however we process pays for thousands. Despite being outnumbered, we make miracles happen every two weeks.
The – more... hardest part of working for a non-profit, which provides Health services paid by the state, is that government budget cuts make it really hard to be compensated fairly or advance throughout the company.
I've learned a great deal about payroll since being here. I have become very fluet in taxation matters since working for the payroll department. – less

Working here at NHS Has been very interesting. I have enjoyed my time here as well as the people. There has never been a dule moment. Plenty of space to concentrate but at the same time just like any job there will be confusion. If i had to say anything about this job and the position i hold here i would say that it is a family like atmosphere and i – more... will miss every moment of being around everyone monday thru thursday. – less

i work 3rd shift i am responsbile for cleaning , paperwork, avatar work, medications counts, attending to the consumers needs, dealing with behaviors, getting the consumbers to work, giving the consumers medication.

I really like NHS but with any non-profit organization there is a fear that funding will be lost along with my job.

I've been with an NHS A.C.T. Team and can only attest my experiences in the office I'm located. The team I work on is very close knit which makes for too much socialization on their part and not enough work during office time and makes accomplishing a common goal difficult. The position is not paperwork heavy which is a plus. There is minimal training – more... provided and most learn via hands on and feedback/ guidance from other team members. Raises have not been issued within the last two years and promotion from within does not seem to be desirable at the management level. Management seems to make irrational requests at times such as working OT without additional compensation/comp time. The rewarding part of the job is the above average salary for some positions and the ability to help consumers work towards reaching their goals. – less

Just looking for employment to help me relocate. Its been a fair experience.

Coworkers are great. Managers are inadequate. There is no leadership in the company and everyone is out to "CYA". No one really stands up for what is right, the main goal is to make money and make sure everything looks like it is on the up and up.

No recognition for a job well done, high turnover, serious micromanagement.

Avoid at all costs!

This job was a very rewarding job to help and show my clietns how to be independent with your mental illness and link them to medical doctors and other community resources

typical day was slow , got a little boring but i did enjoy my resident .

The company will work you as many hours as they can. When they are finished using you they will lay you off and hire someone else shortly after.
