Pros

Best part of working for this company is providing comfort for the patients and families.

Cons

On call for a huge territory after working your 8 plus hour day was extremely dangerous! More than once I almost fell asleep at the wheel driving to a patient home at 2am after having worked all day.

Pros

Vitas offers 240 hours of PTO, which starts accruing after your 3 month probation period. Patients are well cared for. The Sacramento location seems to make a point of hiring a diverse staff, including management staff, with many ethnicitys represented and they are gay friendly.

Cons

Heavy caseload. I was hired to work Mon-Fri, and after 4 years, told that I needed to work 2 out of 3 weekends. We used to be able to start our visits from home, but now have to start from the office, which adds a 45 minute commute to my day, when I already drive hundreds of miles a week, seeing 6 patients per day.

Pros

Families benefit from the services provided, the field nurses and HHA are compassionate as well as the staff in the inpatient units.

Cons

Motto is sign every referral, worry about appropriate for hospice later. Literally walked into the hospital as patient expired and when I reported the death to my manager both her and the Rep showed no compassion and had the audacity to ask me if I had the family sign consents before the patient expired! Unbelievable....why do they want consents if no services provided...hmmm Maybe Medicare should look into that
