Sacrifice staffing for profit

Indeed Featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed
Reviews boast of high percentage of profits for the company but it comes off the back of minimizing staff. Staff members are miserable, stressed, worried about safety and patient care. The system is breaking nurses and making staff bitter and resentful. Staff and patients are not viewed as a priority as they are sacrificed daily for corporate profits.

Pros

Could be a great place to work

Cons

Corporate profits over care

Administration is the problem

Acadia could be great and it looks wonderful on paper. It’s all a facade though. Administration wants everything done one way and they do not value their dedicated employees. Non-clinical staff have no problem telling clinical staff to make changes to patient care even if it’s unethical. Administration lacks professionalism and will make the work environment miserable if you don’t bow down to meet their profit goals even if it means putting the patient population at risk. Staffing is not safe and patients do not receive the high level of care that is advertised.

Pros

Potential to serve the mental health population. Decent wages but not worth the risks.

Cons

Unethical administration, dangerous staffing levels, poor communication, micromanagement, and minimal patient services available.

Corporate is a nightmare

I love the work I do and the people I work with but the corporate people have us micromanaged to death. They maybe good at making money but that is it.

Ehh

Micromanaging. Hours are good. Pay is reasonable. Benefits are lacking compared to other offers, especially paid time off. Favoritism is prominent.

Easy busy work

decent pay and mostly always something to do to help the day go by. Room to grow with the company if you are good at what you do. Managers are are pretty chill and laid back

It’s OK

It OK but very low pay. Coworkers are helpful. Work life balance is good. Clients are not held accountable. Productivity is made a big deal. Benefits are OK.

Nonetheless

None of this has been confirmed yet by the government ……. The people of this state have been living under the influence of the media for decades now to make a fool out of them

Toxic Work Culture

This place is toxic. Management only cares about the money. Worst place I have worked in my career. Please do your research before accepting a position here!

Call center

Worked a short time there and realized it was not the job for me - pay wasn’t realistic, not many opportunities to evolve, somewhat of an isolating job.

Share your experience to help others

It’s guaranteed employment. The company is constantly growing but there’s not room for advancement.

You do get micromanaged and my manager felt that it was his way or no way to be correct and that’s not the way it’s done. It would be great if there was more opportunities for advancement.

Pros

They do provide food often

Cons

Short breaks

You earn your pay.

It is generally a decent place to work, with great coworkers. Management is very good at communicating what it's doing, and they're eliminating positions during a time of record profits.

No future at this company!!!

Acadia is eliminating positions. Consultants are ruining the company, despite record earnings. Top heavy company. No future. Cookie cutter accounting process. I left a horrible company for Acadia and it was a bad decision in the end.

Pros

None

Cons

No future, no advancement, not a stable e.

Pros

None

Cons

To many to list

Poor training and little to no direction equals chaos

Every leader within needs to be retrained and continue to do so periodically to avoid inconsistency for daily operations. From the head of each facility to human resources, the culture said they care to be part of a team but quick to blame rather than aim to use as a teaching moment. Accountability was not consistent and often try to blame others either offsite or onsite to save face. Though the business office manager did well, assistant manager was trained along with me and was not much help. The whole office offered help but the bad habits for the employees at the facilities and not communicating made making the daily quota difficult to manage.

Pros

Great coworkers, open door policy, easy going environment.

Cons

Inconsistent breaks/lunchtimes, training during (unpaid) lunch, changing rules constantly

poor leadership

no direction, poor leadership. Constant turnover. Management is always looking for excuses to fire employees. It was a toxic place to work for 1 year.

Not The Best

There are better companies to work for that will value you. They are ultimately about their bottom line with little to no consideration for the nurses on the front line or the patients they care for.
