Pros

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and good location

Cons

I was hired on as a case manager for a new location that would be opening in Waverly Square. I was placed at another location for training, which consisted of sitting around all day with nothing to do. When I asked for more in-depth training, I was told there were not enough hours or the need for another staff member. I was let go after three weeks because they miscalculated when the new location would be opening. I was also told (by the HR woman) that the woman who hired me should not have placed me at the other location for training at all, but that they would give me a call when they had a more definitive timeframe. I never got a call and continued to see advertisements for jobs online. If I were doing a poor job, then please learn to communicate that rather than jerking someone around in such an unprofessional manner.

Pros

Flexible hours, some good staff members, lots of resident contact

Cons

My experience at Wild Acre was very negative. As a paraprofessional, I didn’t receive any formal training for working with residents (some of whom were psychotic and violent). Medication management was a disaster- staff often forgot to order enough meds so they would run out. The worst instance of this was when a patient with psychosis wasn’t given his antipsychotic, and he went into full psychosis the following day. Instead of owning up to the mistake, staff recorded that they administered the medication to cover it up, and they made it seem like the resident was just psychotic out of the blue and in-need of med adjustment. Additionally, staff do not have a solid understanding of co-occurring conditions. Behind closed doors, staff would insult residents for relapsing or acting and blame them, rather than take a more understanding and therapeutic approach. Finally, groups were rarely actually run, so residents would often stay in their rooms all day and isolate.
