After many years with Vitas I have gone from proud and loyal to disappointed and doubtful of their future.

Business Outlook

Pros

There is opportunity for experience.

Cons

Focus on market competition and greed has overshadowed the heart of hospice care at Vitas. Incompetence in management is rampant. Those who were excellent leaders are so overstressed that they've lost their ability to make a difference. Weak technology systems and overly complex procedures lead to daily system breakdowns and service failures. Employees are routinely held accountable for these failures. The phrase "thrown under the bus" is a common expression one hears amongst the staff. Overall it seems Vitas is blind to the cracks in their foundation and insistant on attempting to further build upon it. There is nothing innovative going on at Vitas.

Very dissappointing, not a positive organization to work for.

Business Outlook

Pros

Rewarding in knowing you made a difference in another persons life. Some nice staff who really want to give quality care. The company provides a range of support disciplines for patient care. Provided lunch at the IDT meetings.

Cons

Management not supportive, they expect nurses to put themselves in harms way all hours and in horrible areas. If you ask for support "they are not going to pay for 2 persons/escort" Focus of the meetings are on increasing numbers/competition of other hospices. Disorganized education/QA process, the documentation system/care plans not user friendly.
