Pros

Generous PTO for old timers. There should be lots of opportunities here because the people who know better are going to leave. I love the people I work with. It is an honor to work with people in their time of need.

Cons

New benefits plan, takes away $46.15 bi-weekly credit, essentially giving each employee a $1200 annual pay cut. Raises were frozen for two years, now max is 2%. LTC insurance no longer offered. 401K match reduced from 50% to 25%. New single health insurance option is HIGH deductible. Employees must pay $1250 out of pocket, before any benefit available. Many VITAS employees make $10 -$14/hr. Sr Management should be ashamed. Look up CHE, chemed stock to see the top people cashing out hundreds of thousands in stocks. "We take care of each other" is a VITAS value, which has been forgotten, and replaced with a push for employees to contribute what they have left to help other employees in need. The culture of subordinates pressured to give gifts to supervisors should be banned.

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.
