VITAS Healthcare reviews

Corporate culture that shows little respect for the program level employees as a resource that drives the corporation's success; Corporate culture that does not value their employees; Poor work - life balance; Micromanagement of staff and a very "Big Brother" type of oversight; Top heavy corporate culture that relies too heavily on process; Unbelievably poor benefits package - only one plan that is high deductible, high cost; Low mileage reimbursement rate; Constantly understaffed due to high turnover rates, which means existing staff is expected to do the work of 2 - 3 people (most of the time); Frequent salary hike freezes; Employees are expected to work weekends and holidays; Corporate culture that does not trust its own employees to make decisions for themselves; Large, sluggish corporate administration that is slow to make decisions to urgent, local program market dynamics. Cost cutting culture has supplanted the patient-centric care model.

Top down management, high employee turnover, questionable practices, lack of positive leadership, and high patient to nurse ratio. Poor employee retention adds to stress on the rest of the team.
