Pros

Working with Families and Patients is rewarding.

Cons

Very poor management and HR is horrible. Manager, HR and CEO stick together, they do not back you up at all! They do not give raises, they work you to the point where you are stressed and sick all the time. They also write you up for the dumbest things, they do not value any employees for any of the hard work you do. HR speaks behind your back as well as your manager. You are either in the "clique" or not, if you aren't , they make your life hell. The pay is okay but the deductible for insurance is horrible. The nurse turn over rate is really high. They do not care if you have worked there for over 22 years, they just fire you or make you quit. Do not work for this company. Oh and it is still paper charting, so good luck with that.

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.
