Not patient care - Anonymous employee Spring Grove Hospital Center Employee Review

Great department of psychologists to work with providing inpatients at a state psychiatric hospital a variety of services (i.e., individual and group therapy, psychological assessments).

Little opportunities for upward mobility. However, great opportunities for doctoral psychology interns to do post docs and potentially be hired as full-time employees.

I am having a hard time finding pros beyond simply having a job with full benefits (health insurance, 401K, paid leave).

The root of the biggest problem with this facility is the fact that SGHC is a facility where the patients are mandated by the courts to be here. SGHC does not make any profit from this, therefore, the employees are overworked and underpaid. Morale is extremely low in every department. There are no advancements (that I have seen). No one communicates with each other effectively. Directors are in place that shouldn't even be supervisors. There is no accountability, let alone disciplinary actions taken to better productivity. I swear, I could go on and on. Trust, I will not be here much longer. If you respect yourself and know that you deserve better, go somewhere else and be treated and compensated at the higher standard that you should be.
