Pros

The company was really great when I started in the late 90s; there was a family spirit, administration was mostly medical people and well trained. Employees were valued and were not tossed aside when they became ill or had personal life issues come up. Patients were given the best medications and care even if there wasn't a huge profit or Medicare wasn't going to eat the costs.

Cons

Constant turnover of field staff who are overworked and drive miles to do their territory (with very little gas mileage credit) While the upper administration seem to continue to get benefits, the staff often doesn't see a raise for years, and when they do, it is often in pennies. Care for a patient is discontinued when the patient stops being profitable..

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.
