I was able to provide medical and emotional support for hospice patients and caregivers.
Cons
The company is severely understaffed with both teletriage nurses and field staff. Sometimes, patients and families have to wait for hours for someone to respond physically to them, which is very stressful for everyone concerned.

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.
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.
