Pros

Patients,families, RNCM, and HHA were the only reason I stayed! THAT IS WHERE YOUR ONLY SUPPORT COMES FROM!!! Loved helping people during vulnerable time...it was satisfying.

Cons

You get ahead if your GM likes you, doesn't matter how bad you are, and it doesn't matter if you never did your work! Managers make the environment unbearable due to hostility toward staff, and their own mental issues that they openly speak about. GM and corporate does nothing to help situation knowing that an entire office is caustic. They do not fire people so the managers who remain with company are there "because no one else will hire me and I don't want to go back to floor nursing". I have witnessed managers not order pain med for patient because she dislikes patient and laugh about it. GM aware, but does nothing. Staff retention is extremely poor, as are the benefits. Multiple lawsuits against company including DOJ...Google it...and watch your licence...document everything in patient notes including management discussions! CYA!

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.
