Pros

Helping terminally ill patients at the end of life. Focus on patients and families. Good coworkers in the field.

Cons

Unorganized disaster. Poor Management. Everything is blamed on the employees in the field when management fails. They give you no direction and then blame you when there is a mistake. High turnover. No raises. Bean counters. Work every weekend. We don't get paid holiday pay and we have to work on every holiday. They give you PTO but then won't allow you time off to use it. You lose what PTO you haven't used at the end of the year.

Pros

Patients,families, RNCM, and HHA were the only reason I stayed! THAT IS WHERE YOUR ONLY SUPPORT COMES FROM!!! Loved helping people during vulnerable time...it was satisfying.

Cons

You get ahead if your GM likes you, doesn't matter how bad you are, and it doesn't matter if you never did your work! Managers make the environment unbearable due to hostility toward staff, and their own mental issues that they openly speak about. GM and corporate does nothing to help situation knowing that an entire office is caustic. They do not fire people so the managers who remain with company are there "because no one else will hire me and I don't want to go back to floor nursing". I have witnessed managers not order pain med for patient because she dislikes patient and laugh about it. GM aware, but does nothing. Staff retention is extremely poor, as are the benefits. Multiple lawsuits against company including DOJ...Google it...and watch your licence...document everything in patient notes including management discussions! CYA!
