Pros
Amedisys offers good pay with very good benefits. The work/life balance is good for a PTA, and I really like the fact that my agency has an autonomous office in each county, resulting in much less distance to cover than other agencies. Our ineffective director has been replaced with a highly effective one, and our area VP's stay on top of these types of problems.
Cons
The proprietary point of care documentation software is not as good as some other agencies I have worked for. The company itself is highly dependent on Medicare and our fortunes rise and fall at the whim of political changes to CMS. Mileage reimbursement rate is not keeping up with rise in gas prices. I drive a car that gets 35 to 40 mpg and I am barely breaking even, meaning cost for repairs is not being covered at all.
