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.

Pros

- I love being able to make my own schedule and see patients on my own time. - I love the care center hospice team that I work with. My DOO (Director of Operations) is very kind, a team player, and encourages the team to be their best. - Insurance benefits are also a plus (Blue Cross/Blue Sheild).

Cons

- I don't enjoy having to drive around and to far distances to see patients. Also, don't enjoy when patients and family members cancel visits because I won't get paid unless I make the visit. - Upper management doesn't care about the well-being of the local care center employees. Upper management puts to much stress on the DOO for stats and productivity quotas. - Upper management is cheap and doesn't contribute money to celebrate their employees like with a Christmas party (local care centers have to bring pot-luck style food and throw their own Christmas parties).
