Pros

Working with Families and Patients is rewarding.

Cons

Very poor management and HR is horrible. Manager, HR and CEO stick together, they do not back you up at all! They do not give raises, they work you to the point where you are stressed and sick all the time. They also write you up for the dumbest things, they do not value any employees for any of the hard work you do. HR speaks behind your back as well as your manager. You are either in the "clique" or not, if you aren't , they make your life hell. The pay is okay but the deductible for insurance is horrible. The nurse turn over rate is really high. They do not care if you have worked there for over 22 years, they just fire you or make you quit. Do not work for this company. Oh and it is still paper charting, so good luck with that.

Pros

Helping patients and families get thru these tough times were the best part of my job. I loved what I did because it was patient based. The amount of PTO given was also nice because I didn't have to be there for years in order to use it.

Cons

Management only cares about themselves and the all mighty dollar. For example, if a family wanted an air mattress, didn't qualify, and threaten to leave Vitas...they got what they wanted. Management also does not live up to "We take care of each other". They give no care about the employees, a work/life balance, or situations that may occur in an employees life. No one takes ownership of their work or mistakes but are quick to write up others for the smallest things that have nothing to do with the quality or quantity of their work. Also, you must use your PTO for Christmas, New Years, and Thanksgiving Day. Management sits on the phones and computers all day without doing work but if others are not busy at all times, there is a problem. And if you aren't blonde, tall, skinny, and wear short skirts....or put on a huge smile and laugh at anything management says....you won't get anywhere within Vitas. Do not have a voice and learn to tell on everyone and you are good to be promoted at any given time and not just according to the 6 month policy.
