Pros

Families benefit from the services provided, the field nurses and HHA are compassionate as well as the staff in the inpatient units.

Cons

Motto is sign every referral, worry about appropriate for hospice later. Literally walked into the hospital as patient expired and when I reported the death to my manager both her and the Rep showed no compassion and had the audacity to ask me if I had the family sign consents before the patient expired! Unbelievable....why do they want consents if no services provided...hmmm Maybe Medicare should look into that

Pros

Very friendly and helpful colleagues. I came to this company with very little experience and all of my colleagues helped and educated me with all things hospice care. I got promoted 4 months after being hired as a clerk into a secretary job. Best job I've ever have.

Cons

None that I can think of.

Pros

Great organization structure. significant opportunity to growth for lateral and/or vertical transition. Great compensation for all disciplines if done right, a great work life balance

Cons

Initial hiring, orientation is relatively slow may be even boring process. organization values people too much and believes in helping growth of individual so much so that some time slackers are able to survive longer then they should. which can cause loss of motivation for highly driven team members. the way I would survive if I am motivated for the cause is do what is right for you and your patients, apart from that just wait for the right time. Biggest pain point is EMR. this organization is slow to the game but the organization is building and perfecting home built EMR product to have maximum flexibility. currently going through growing pains.
