Pros

Pros – People seem nice/friendly. There seem to be staff genuinely/individually invested in betterment of patient and family care.

Cons

Cons – I was hired for part time position over 3 quarters ago. I'm still waiting for work, and have respectfully persistent in contacting my supervisor d'jour ( by phone and email ) to say "please can I work". I've asked again and again to coordinate with the team, to get referrals, to just be permitted to function as a team member and support hospice patients during such a critical time. I get put off and put off again. Sometimes they'll get back to me ( 2-3 weeks later ), and say "just a few more weeks". I was initially very excited to be associated with a company whose external reputation has been solid; the truth can be enlightening and in this case such a disappointment. It's time for me to move. on

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.
