Pros

Flexibility, autonomy, trust in the medical team that I worked with and mileage reimbursement. Always felt like that my voice was being heard with regards to patient care/safety and advocacy. Triage team was phenomenal and worked very closely with the runners. Room for advancement was available.

Cons

High turn over rate with upper management which lead to fear of the unknown. Never quite able to get a handle of communication between the on call staff and regular staff. Some redundancy but was perfectly manageable. Regular politics regarding staff to staff interaction. No pay raises for over two years.

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.
