Pros
Flexibility, lots of pto, field staff usually works together and has each others back because the office sure doesn't.
Cons
Minimal office support, Vitas works their field staff to death, minimal pay raises, upper management is out of touch with what happening in the field, penny pinching, it's all about the money nowadays, admitting people that don't qualify for services. Way too much paperwork, it's supposed to be electronic now and Vitas is still using paper charting, it takes up way too much time. The frustration of the office adding more forms to create duplicate charting and more admits, it gets to be overwhelming and they don't get it. The office doesn't get it because they are in the office. The office doesn't answer the phone for field staff very often so that leaves the field staff hanging but if the office wants to talk to you, they will blow up your phone till you answer. The insurance is a whole other story, it's ridiculously expensive and is a joke anyway, it's catastrophic coverage, useless for routine care. The words on the back of the badges are just that, words. We do not take care of each other.
