Pros

Amedisys does offer it's full time employees a fairly generous benefit package and 401K plan. There is no compensation for overtime for hourly salaried employees.

Cons

Be prepared to work like you never have before. This is one thankless company with unrealistic expectations placed on it's employees. They depend too much on their computer system and programs which are nothing short of a nightmare. Compensation for mileage is based on what the computer dictates and is never accurate so you are out of pocket to drive for this company. Amedisys does initially invest in a new employee and leaves you with a sense of awe thinking you have finally landed in a great place. Systems are reviewed depending on the position one was hired for. Then comes the failure. Local levels throw the "Amedisys way" out the window and do as they please. Policy and procedure manuals magically disappear. DOO's rule. Never call the Amedisys hotline. Not only have you been subjected to poor treatment to force one to place the call then you get victimized again by corporate indifference and incompetent AVP's. One needs to think long and hard prior to accepting any position with this company.

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).
