Pros

Most of the nursing field staff support each other. I believe in the companies 4 values wholeheartedly. It is an honor to care for the patients at this private intimate phase of their lives. Normally families and patients are so appreciative of the littliest things that we do for them.

Cons

I feel like it is "us against them" meaning field staff against office management. Concerns fall on deaf ears. Patients and families no longer come first. Management does not support the nurses in the field like they need to be supported. The ones who work there behinds off go unrecognized while others get the better schedules and assignments. Whats good for one is not for all. Use of PTO is unfair. No accountability check system.

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.
