Pros

Management is supportive, pay is fair, almost everyone on the team--including physicians-- is approachable, available, pleasant to work with, and genuinely cares about the patients. Work-life balance is respected. They will probably ask if you can pick up extra shifts, but no one pushes if you give "no" for an answer.

Cons

Cons mostly have to do with the nature of the role itself, and what you expect from the job. Hospice is emotionally intense, there is a lot of driving, and admissions requires a high degree of attention to detail. If any of these things are overwhelming for you, then you might not be happy with this role. Corporate culture is about what you would expect from a large for-profit organization. And it can feel like Medicare is "Big Brother." However, on the local team level, management really tries to take the corporate buzzwords and turn them into a meaningful office culture. This positive review only applies to the "Chicagoland Northwest" region. Different regions may have a VERY different experience. But for me personally, VITAS does a good job at the things that I value the most, and the drawbacks are not deal-breakers.

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.
