Money-focused & a meat grinder attitude toward the employees

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Starting salaries are competitive; Hospice care is a worthwhile mission in and of itself; Growth opportunities (mostly due to high turnover rates though) Local program staff are great people who care about their patients and their coworkers.

Cons

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.

Business Outlook

Pros

Plenty of opportunities for OT, Camaraderie is second to none. Because of complexity of position, management has a tolerant attitude towards growth.

Cons

Below-average pay, infrequent and token raises, disgraceful benefits, numbers mentality undermines goals of "patients and families come first."
