Business Outlook

Pros

Generous PTO for old timers. There should be lots of opportunities here because the people who know better are going to leave. I love the people I work with. It is an honor to work with people in their time of need.

Cons

New benefits plan, takes away $46.15 bi-weekly credit, essentially giving each employee a $1200 annual pay cut. Raises were frozen for two years, now max is 2%. LTC insurance no longer offered. 401K match reduced from 50% to 25%. New single health insurance option is HIGH deductible. Employees must pay $1250 out of pocket, before any benefit available. Many VITAS employees make $10 -$14/hr. Sr Management should be ashamed. Look up CHE, chemed stock to see the top people cashing out hundreds of thousands in stocks. "We take care of each other" is a VITAS value, which has been forgotten, and replaced with a push for employees to contribute what they have left to help other employees in need. The culture of subordinates pressured to give gifts to supervisors should be banned.
