Pros

The few team members who really care for the residents.

Cons

This branch of Priory is run through manipulation, fear, and favoritism. Staff who don’t flatter the manager are sidelined or targeted. Residents are often neglected or mistreated behind the scenes, while management puts on a fake show for outsiders, and trust me they are good at it. Speaking up is impossible — everyone stays silent out of fear of losing their job or being punished. Pretend to be a "Family" but looks more like a "Mafia" No teamwork, no trust, no recognition, and a constant climate of suspicion. This is pure abuse and should be properly investigated by CQC. By far the most toxic job I’ve ever had.

Pros

Met some of the hardest working and resilient staff I have ever had the ensure to work with! That's all I can think of...

Cons

Not sure where to start with this... worked at the Priory Hospital Bristol for almost two years - most definitely the worst years of my work life. This place has left me damaged not only professionally but also on a personal level. The appalling management and treatment of their employees is beyond any body's comprehension.... It is so bad that it's actually impossible to describe. You have to live it to believe it and even then you will be questioning your mind thinking am I the crazy one here or is the whole hospital mad? surprised how they're still open and running.....
