Pros

There are none anymore. When Hugh and Esther sold to the plumbers quality and ethics went away and we're replaced with money hungry sales rep and inappropriate admissions

Cons

They do not follow their values. If you know what is the right thing to do you will be treated terribly and retaliated against for trying to do the right thing

Pros

The only thing I can think of is the actual experience of being a hospice nurse. Although extremely challenging, it is the most rewarding work I have ever done.

Cons

Not feeling supported by management Working 3 weekends every month No advantage to having "seniority" No loyalty to employees Poor communication between mgmt and employee Minimal yearly wage increases Huge travel expectation w/o adequate mileage reimbursement Obvious discrimination by mgmt Unfair work practice

Pros

Great opportunity to really use your nursing skills while being able to take the time to really make a difference in the lives of your patients and their families. Very rewarding!

Cons

Leadership skills are less than desirable. Management seems overwhelmed and unable to provide adequate support and training their team requires. Monetary raises seem non-existing for the last 3 years.
