After many years with Vitas I have gone from proud and loyal to disappointed and doubtful of their future. - Registered Nurse VITAS Healthcare Employee Review

Pros

There is opportunity for experience.

Cons

Focus on market competition and greed has overshadowed the heart of hospice care at Vitas. Incompetence in management is rampant. Those who were excellent leaders are so overstressed that they've lost their ability to make a difference. Weak technology systems and overly complex procedures lead to daily system breakdowns and service failures. Employees are routinely held accountable for these failures. The phrase "thrown under the bus" is a common expression one hears amongst the staff. Overall it seems Vitas is blind to the cracks in their foundation and insistant on attempting to further build upon it. There is nothing innovative going on at Vitas.

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.
