Pros

They operate fully by the rules and adhere to all the Medicare guidelines. Good base salary. Training process is solid. Laptop and phone provided.

Cons

If you get an undesirable territory (one that happens to be heavily physician driven and ridiculously political, for instance), best of luck. The numbers they expect you to pull in on a monthly basis are often times unrealistic/unattainable. Sometimes there are good months, sometimes there are slower months. That's the way it goes in healthcare. Management and the bigwigs in Nashville don't care. Hit your numbers, or you're on your way out. They'll try telling you it's about patient care, helping families, etc... don't be fooled - it's ALL about the numbers. You will find this out during the frequent sales meetings, as the term "numbers" seems to be quite the common theme with this company. Base salary is solid, but don't plan on getting your monthly bonuses, unless you have a desirable territory with medical directors working with you.

Pros

Paid overtime and milege. You determine your own salary so if you get a job offer- aim high. Absolutely no policy regarding call in frequency.

Cons

Shameless for-profit organization. Very high turnover at all levels, lowest with the CNA positions. Nurses and managers treated very badly- the smart ones leave quickly. It's only about the numbers- very little discussion about helping people, instructed to just skip the scheduled visits with existing clients and race to the hospital to admit patients before they die. Completely unrealistic expectations about workload for nurses. $$$

Pros

SOME excellent immediate management Colleagues compassionate about patient/family care PAY, and HOURLY -- as opposed to salary. Excellent pro - only whole employed (if you "earn" time and cut ties, you do not receive that time). Competitive 401k.

Cons

Health insurance benefit (does it seem right that those working in the medical field, who provide care to people who are sick and dying, aren't provided with a decent health care plan?) SOME TERRIBLE immediate management Upper management put bottom line above all else - including patient and family care Social Worker role viewed only as a necessity, not valued; this former employee would be shocked if SWe were even employed if not for MCare rqmts. It became apparent, following a merger with another large hospice for-profit org, that the primary goal of upper mgmt - along with some branch and area-level mgmt - is to provide BELOW-the-BARE- MINIMUM level of care fron this discipline. When the primary function of the social worker is viewed as presence at IDG mtgs/signing of care plans, when the standard of sw care is expected to be 0/PRN MSW visits per month, when branch managers are having RNCMs do SW assessments and SWs are expected to do phone visits in place of in-home visits (even for initial sw assessment), how could one think otherwise? Oh yes, andefinitely caseloads of 75+ per 1 SW across 3 separate rural areas?!?!?
