Pros

The services are truly needed and appreciated, the interdisciplinary teams that provide end of life care can make a positive difference! Most people do not know what their care options are so they end up making decisions that unfortunately add more stress and emotional disappointment to this difficult process.

Cons

It’s basically a very difficult and challenging job but when operationally things are running well it can be very rewarding helping patients and families. We’ve all experienced or heard about companies where the upper management operates in tightly defended silo... put a check mark in this box. The mother ship changes direction frequently without thoughtful strategy and you do have a choice tolerate the insanity or move on!

Pros

Great clinical staff, varied work environment. Good colleagues who supported each other. In this type of work, you are privileged to meet some amazing people who have lived remarkable lives.

Cons

Unnecessary levels of stress-inducing micromanagement from upper management. The very high turnover rate is due in part to the field and administrative staff being bugged about "productivity numbers", with not enough support to meet those goals consistently. This is hospice care, but at times it felt like an assembly line. Not all of this is the fault of Vitas. The Medicare oversight and regulatory environment contributes to the stress by the way care is measured and reimbursed. Not everything can be reduced to a metric.
