Pros

Zero pros aside from a paycheck.

Cons

From the top, leadership is horrible. The company culture sets the tone for each individual facility. Corporate leaders talk out of both sides of their mouth. They intentionally run lean which has the absolute effect of running their employees into the ground. Retention is awful for a reason. Unrealistic expectations are placed on employees who are stretched to transparency. You will be miserable in under a year, guaranteed! And if you are thinking, this is just a disgruntled employee, understand that there is often a good reason for being disgruntled. Acadia facilities have an overwhelming amount of disgruntled employees. Think twice before you become the next one. The benefits are barely passable, certainly not enough to retain employees through the wretched work environment.

Pros

Ability to work from home, bonus money is decent, and overtime is pretty abundant.

Cons

Cons: Management showed very little compassion or flexibility during serious medical situations. I was dealing with severe spinal cord compression and kept my supervisor informed every step of the way. My doctor’s appointment had to be rescheduled due to a tornado threat, and the physician was unexpectedly out until the following Monday, which delayed my documentation. Despite being upfront and communicative, I was terminated before I could even obtain the note. Losing my job and health insurance in the middle of a serious medical crisis was devastating. The role itself can also feel emotionally draining because intake staff are often left handling upset patients and families without enough support from the facilities. I had to reschedule my surgery so I couldn’t get married and put on my Husband’s insurance, kind of sucks a healthcare company would do an employee that way!
