Pros

VITAS was once a hospice leader with a strong hospice CEO. When Chemed replace the CEO with the head of Roto-Rooter, the drain cleaner...that is when "sh*t got real" There are many compassionate people who work for VITAS, they give people their start in the industry and then they typically move on to more supportive hospice cultures.

Cons

All that has gone wrong in the hospice movement...you will find it here! Greedy non-hospice CEO! There are no career paths for chaplains because if chaplains find out about your awful practices...you will be called out...you are right! "Laborers" are a tool for leaders who get bonuses for keeping patients who don't need hospice...on their services. CMS once you get your 75 million back that they stole...end this dehumanizing mess

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.
