Pros

The organization has a great mission. In fact, the founder helped write the hospice legislation during the Reagan administration.

Cons

Silos. Supposedly, it's a collaborative healthcare setting. Each program even has what it calls an IDG (interdisciplinary group) that works on the plan of care for patients. But overall, the care part of the organization and administrative/management part do not communicate well and have very different competing priorities.

Pros

Rewarding to help patients and families. No direct patient contact. Good clinical support.

Cons

Extreme micromanagement. Non clinical leadership lacking understanding as to what Triage Nurses do and that not all calls are the same. Management by Exception practiced based on favoritism. Revolving door of Triage Nurses leaving and new hires requiring weeks of training resulting in the department being chronically understaffed.
