Pros

You are not stuck in a building all day. I really enjoy working with my team's nurses.

Cons

Poor pay, management is all about money, no respect for "field workers", admission promises the patient the world to sign up and leaves RN CM to deal with the promises that cannot be kept, no support, a lot of paperwork is done on your own time. Hired at hourly rate and never told I was salary (this happens alot), health insurance is a joke with $2700 a year out of pocket before it kicks in and you basically pay for it on your own; good luck finding a Dr who takes it!!!. They expect you to work within their standards, but they themselves do not do it. Managers talk about each other to pump themselves up. They do your mileage so you best find the shortest route! Their new pharmacy company cant keep up with demand, it leaves RN to call in all perscriptions locally...this takes alot of time! Run, don't walk, away!!! Plus, they don't pay...oops I said that already!!! This is one review, but it is the thought of many...everyone is looking for other employment...even the managers.

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.
