Pros
- Adequate pay - Mileage reimbursement is fair and easy
Cons
- Mediocre benefits - Slow accrual of paid time off - Salary compensation, instead of hourly compensation, which leads to inadequate payment for hours worked (especially as a nurse) - Average of 10-12 hour days - Must use own cell phone (work phone not provided) which creates large issues with disconnecting from work during time off. And phone compensation is cumbersome and time consuming, not automatic. - Mandatory coverage for being on-call without compensation for time spent while on-call and personal experience of not being compensated when called or performing patient visit while on-call - Human resources and IT are centralized as Amedisys is a nationwide company, so performing HR tasks or working with HR or IT is cumbersome, time-consuming, and nearly impossible to fit into a normal work day that does not allow time for fitting in HR or IT needs if they present themselves (same goes for mandatory ongoing educations/webinars that cannot be fit into a normal workday and end up being done after hours, increasing the length of the work day) - High turnover rate, especially for LNA's and nurses
