Pros

Plenty of PTO. 5 weeks yearly.

Cons

They find was to maximize profits even if it means commiting fraud. Patients are nothing but money to them. They don't have enough nurses to take on the amount of patients they keep admitting and yet are pushed to keep admitting no matter what,this is against Texas regulations. More admissions equals more bonuses for upper management. They abuse medicare programs such as using CC (continuous care) for patients that don't qualify on a regular basis because it's the largest reimbursement rate. They will find any reason to utilize CC for the reimbursements. They have also been penalized millions of dollars for certifying patients as terminal that still had options. Just Google them and all the information will come up.

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.
