Pros

The company offers remote positions (although they shut down long-time running veteran departments in some of the busiest states). You can work independently and have some good technology to help you out but you are always monitored and micromanaged. The changes happen so fast and the training is not implemented well. A nurse used to be able to take 1 call at a time, but after the significant changes, the nurses are constantly interrupted to be made aware that the company is understaffed and there are a plethora of calls on hold.

Cons

Lots of micromanagement, none of the higher-ups have healthcare experience. The nurses are not provided with the resources from supervisors with similar experience. Instead, they are provided with non-clinical staff to reprimand and perform monthly reviews rather than being able to contribute to growth. The company was also caught in significant scandals recently and often do not treat the core staff with respect. The most important drawback is the significant changes over the last few years (such as disbanding senior nurses who have been with the company for decades without warning, adding requirements post-hire, and a turn away from individual care to just becoming a call center to provide customer service instead of healthcare.)

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.
