Pros

There are some cool fringes like legal help, Microsoft home use software, EAP

Cons

Constantly cutting staff and increasing workloads. Nobody seems to have time to do their job properly. Haphazard implementation of IT and other procedures . Suggesting changes yields risk, suspicion, and no benefit. Really, what do we expect from a large, publicly traded healthcare business that depends upon Medicare reimbursement? Cut costs and increase case loads. Have been cutting salaries for my position for years. Condescending attitude; communications from upper management clearly are written by PR flacks. Keep your head down, know what management is paying attention to this month, and you'll find some opportunities to help patients.

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.
