Pros

Absolutely none, I would leave 0 stars if possible.

Cons

Management and customer service (dispatch) are completely inept. They create bs numbers to fluff each other up in meetings and give raises and awards. At the end of each day if I was unable to either make pickups or deliveries it was counted as an "exception" my manager asked that I call him to have him remove these stops from my device on a daily basis. So the outcome was the same, but our location had record low "exceptions" because they were fabricated. You'd actually get in trouble for a certain exception percentage. Customer service scheduled pickups and deliveries at times that made no sense. Instead of pushing something to the next day they'd try to rush it knowing full well drivers were already slammed. By the time you made it to the stop the family was questioning why you were making a delivery at 8:30 pm and not just doing it the next morning. You have to create your own route and then dispatch will throw critical appointments at you completely across town at the last minute so by the time you're done rushing all over (for something that turned out to not be a rush at all) you're starting your scheduled stops 4+ hours late. Just a total cluster all around.

Pros

Vitas Healthcare is a great place to work. There is effective positive communication about our dedication to our mission and values. The benefits are excellent which include generous PTO time and matching 401K.

Cons

I cannot think of any areas of improvements.

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.
