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.

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.
