Pros

The patients and field staff are excellent.

Cons

Upper management is clueless. They make decisions about elements of patient care that are money driven, not quality driven. Current pharmacy service is a joke. There is no pharmacist overseeing orders that are placed. Staff have to take PTO if they want a holiday - there are no paid holidays like Christmas or New Years. Management however does have paid holidays. Health insurance is awful. One employee had to pay a surgeon $5,000 up front before he would do her cholecystectomy. Another pays $180 for a simple doctors visit. A home health aid has filed for bankruptcy because of the health bills. All management cares about are numbers of patients and making money.

Pros

Very friendly and helpful colleagues. I came to this company with very little experience and all of my colleagues helped and educated me with all things hospice care. I got promoted 4 months after being hired as a clerk into a secretary job. Best job I've ever have.

Cons

None that I can think of.

Pros

Great organization structure. significant opportunity to growth for lateral and/or vertical transition. Great compensation for all disciplines if done right, a great work life balance

Cons

Initial hiring, orientation is relatively slow may be even boring process. organization values people too much and believes in helping growth of individual so much so that some time slackers are able to survive longer then they should. which can cause loss of motivation for highly driven team members. the way I would survive if I am motivated for the cause is do what is right for you and your patients, apart from that just wait for the right time. Biggest pain point is EMR. this organization is slow to the game but the organization is building and perfecting home built EMR product to have maximum flexibility. currently going through growing pains.
