Pros

The starting salary was great! The Nurses and Admissions Coordinators were very friendly.

Cons

The office culture for lack of better terms was dead. There wasn't a lot of creativity to help boost the employee morale. The management team were not open to suggestions, they were all about the "Do as I say" approach. The health care insurance were VERY high, especially considering this is a company in the Health care field. Insurance Biweekly deductions for Employee only is $60; Employee & Child(ren) is $163.85; Employee & Spouse is $191.54 - with $2,500 deductible in network and $5,00 for All Others. That is an unexpectedly high rate!

Pros

Some of my greatest nursing and human experiences have been while working in hospice. VITAS has been a mainstay company for many years in their field.

Cons

Compensation and Financial Growth minimal - lack of compensation for going beyond your duties with expectations way beyond a reasonable work week - BIG separation between office and field staff - though there is potential for improvement - it just never seems to happen
