Pros
New graduate nurses can get a job at this hospice, however with the trade off of poor compensation. A few seasoned nurses will pass through this facility and impart wisdom and knowledge that are critical in todays nursing field. They are great at thanking you for filling in during the continual crisis of staffing issues and long on-call nights for case managers.
Cons
The company has no room for advancement and painfully tries at what seems like the Scientific Management Theory in nursing, continually attempting to reform the nursing job and to measure nursing workload while leaving out the most important motivating component of this theory, higher wages. The culture successfully maintained a poor moral and high turnover, in my opinion, with the Registered Nurses. Census will vary often and nurses often will have to cover out of their territory. If you need a job and enjoy caddy people, a disconnect between the management and nurses, willing to accept annual low % increases based your low salary annually, then this is a dream job in my opinion, and its your hard earned RN license. There a patients ready to see a nurse in every job and this is just a job, not a career company.
Non-competitive benefits regarding medical and dental with very high deductibles, awful vacation and sick time policies, 401K company contributions are very skant with 2-5 year vesting program tiered.
