Pros

The mission is the only thing redeemable about Marklund.

Cons

Horrendous leadership. Extremely toxic environment and if you’re in direct care you’ll be overworked and underpaid. Senior leadership isn’t supportive. The Chief HR Officer works offsite 2 days a week, conveniently every Monday and Friday. Must be nice! Don’t bother going to her, she’s never there and doesn’t know anything. The CEO, Gil, claims to have an “open door policy” but if you go to him with legitimate concerns, while he might listen to what you say, he won’t act on it. He’ll tell you what you want to hear to get you to shut up and then do whatever he/management wants after, no matter the consequences. They will pay extreme feels for agency staff since they have such high turnover, so you’ll never know who’s going to take care of a resident on a given day. The Administrators manage from their desk. No wonder there’s an abuse case at MHC. Google Marklund news before you think of stepping foot in this place. You can make more money flipping burgers, and would be appreciated more elsewhere too. Do yourself a favor and don’t work here!

Pros

What truly sets this school apart is its heart. The dedication, patience, and creativity of the staff make every day purposeful. Seeing a student achieve a new skill or express joy in a way they couldn’t before reminds you why this work matters so much.

Cons

The work can be demanding at times, but it’s deeply fulfilling.
