Armor Correctional Health Services Reviews in Miami-Fort Lauderdale, FL Area

Pros

Good compensation package compared to other companies in our business.

Cons

None that I can think of at this time.

Advice to Senior Management

Always listen, even if the suggestion isn't the best...just listen.

Pros

Compensation and benefits - they are not greatest, but could be worse.

Cons

Total lack of respect towards non-management staff, unfair treatment, extremely low morale, unethical hiring (and terminating!) practices. Accusatory, sometimes bordering on defamatory statements given to employees. Most of mid-management is incompetent in effectively dealing with staff. Lack of logic is an everyday occurance in decision-making. The company is not supposed to be a paramilitary organization, yet some members of management attempt to run it as such. Egos come before the interest of the common good. Fragmented organizational structure. Management does not encourage professional training or growth, or the philosophy of "hire from within." Some managers flat-out lie to employees, without blinking an eye. What happened to integrity?

Advice to Senior Management

Please incorporate the following words in your vocabulary: ethics, morale, fairness, retention, teamwork.
Don't be penny-wise and pound-foolish. It costs a lot of money to hire and train new staff as opposed to keeping the existing one. Discourage the practice of authoritarian leadership. Please! And remember: a company's greatest asset is its staff!

Pros

the correctional care arena is a great place for nurses who are tired of working 12 hour shifts in the hospital because the actual work is much less physically demanding than your typical patient load. The jail is a fun place to work and we have the opportunity to work with corrections staff in addition to the inmate population. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Cons

The negativities are definately the current management in this facility. the administrators are incompetent nurses which makes then ineffective managers. They're unable to perform the daily nursing requirements. The managers sit in an office and shuffle papers around, when they should be out in the working environment monitoring staff and offering assistance when things get to be to much. This tends to be a they say we do environment rather than a teamworking environment! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Advice to Senior Management

Get out of the offices and take a good look at what some of the employees are doing to make your job easier. Be more personable and friendly. Say good-morning when you see someone. take the opportunity to thank someone for going over and above.
