Pros

I love being in hospice and helping families. We have amazing services unlike any other hospice company. Our nurses, social workers, home health aides, chaplains, etc are all amazing and I am so proud of all of them.

Cons

No holidays or sick days! Shocking and I never thought to ask since I have always had them. Yes, we get 15 days of PTO but I used them to take off on Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. They also continually encourage us to work the weekends and even when I don’t really want to I often don’t have a choice since my accounts and office keep emailing me. So, needless to say there is high burnout since we don’t have enough down time. The benefits are also terrible and you are not eligible until after 90 days. There is a 401k match but at .25 on the dollar I put in and again not until after 90 days.

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.
