Pros

Amazing nurses. Incredible group of caring and supportive clinical staff. On an individual level, all the nurses, physicians, pastoral care and social workers encountered are absolute dynamite who genuinely care for the patients and their outcomes.

Cons

It’s obvious this is a for-profit company. Financial considerations often appeared to take precedence over clinical concerns. The corporate staff pushes for admissions. They will be quick to take on patients without being willing to consider the global impact on their care. I’ve seen corporate be repeatedly quick to place blame on the clinical end despite dismissing several attempts by clinical staff to make them aware of major problems within the company. Overloading staff and under appreciating staff is chronic. Supplies are a constant problem. The field has constant turnover. High-performing nurses often seemed to receive increasing workloads rather than additional support. Nursing managers/case managers have high turnover as well.

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.
