Pros

Rewarding in knowing you made a difference in another persons life. Some nice staff who really want to give quality care. The company provides a range of support disciplines for patient care. Provided lunch at the IDT meetings.

Cons

Management not supportive, they expect nurses to put themselves in harms way all hours and in horrible areas. If you ask for support "they are not going to pay for 2 persons/escort" Focus of the meetings are on increasing numbers/competition of other hospices. Disorganized education/QA process, the documentation system/care plans not user friendly.

Pros

I love working for this company because it truly keeps patients and families first; treats employees with respect; cares about compassion and empathy; has great marketplace recognition; and has a world-class sales team.

Cons

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.
