Business outlook
Pros
Great clinical staff, varied work environment. Good colleagues who supported each other. In this type of work, you are privileged to meet some amazing people who have lived remarkable lives.
Cons
Unnecessary levels of stress-inducing micromanagement from upper management. The very high turnover rate is due in part to the field and administrative staff being bugged about "productivity numbers", with not enough support to meet those goals consistently. This is hospice care, but at times it felt like an assembly line. Not all of this is the fault of Vitas. The Medicare oversight and regulatory environment contributes to the stress by the way care is measured and reimbursed. Not everything can be reduced to a metric.
