Pros

I’ve worked in hospice before and love working with patients and families. It is deeply humbling and rewarding to work in this field. Some of my workers were also great

Cons

I was bullied relentlessly by a coworker who had a reputation in the office for abusive behavior (according to HR). She literally screamed at me, excluded me from meetings, and refused to share resources and information. I would hear her yelling about me to her boss (others could also hear). Management assistance was weak or nonexistent (we can’t lose staff right now). HR admitted to me she had run off several new staff members already. One day, it just broke me. There was one incident too many. I quit in the middle of the day. Because I did not give two 8weeks notice, I can never work for VITAS again. I had been asking for assistance for 6 months.

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.
