Pros

It was great working at Vitas. If it hadn't been because there was no room for growth I would have stayed. In my experience, the individuals who can really grow in Vitas are the ones in Healthcare, like nurses or anyone pursuing a degree in Health Administration. I'm on the business path and working in this field was not a good choice for me. Keep in mind, it is a stressful job since you are dealing with terminally ill patients; you got to be patient. Staff was nice and managers were helpful as well. Look out for some secretaries who are lazy and will most likely try to dump their work on you.

Cons

Some coworkers can be lazy...

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.
