Pros

Helping patients and families get thru these tough times were the best part of my job. I loved what I did because it was patient based. The amount of PTO given was also nice because I didn't have to be there for years in order to use it.

Cons

Management only cares about themselves and the all mighty dollar. For example, if a family wanted an air mattress, didn't qualify, and threaten to leave Vitas...they got what they wanted. Management also does not live up to "We take care of each other". They give no care about the employees, a work/life balance, or situations that may occur in an employees life. No one takes ownership of their work or mistakes but are quick to write up others for the smallest things that have nothing to do with the quality or quantity of their work. Also, you must use your PTO for Christmas, New Years, and Thanksgiving Day. Management sits on the phones and computers all day without doing work but if others are not busy at all times, there is a problem. And if you aren't blonde, tall, skinny, and wear short skirts....or put on a huge smile and laugh at anything management says....you won't get anywhere within Vitas. Do not have a voice and learn to tell on everyone and you are good to be promoted at any given time and not just according to the 6 month policy.

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.
