Pros

Work with some of the most compassionate, caring, smart, and funny coworkers you will ever meet. They have a true passion for their jobs and the patients and families. Company's #1 motto is "Patients and families come first." And they do because that is just who these people are.

Cons

The #2 motto is "We take care of each other". Not true. We work every holiday except the big 3 - and we are forced to take PTO. No sick leave, terrible health benefits, raises limited to 2%. Management feels it is better to give half-truths and vague answers than ever address employee concerns on everything from salaries, workplace bullies, staff turnover, vacation scheduling or workload balancing. And anyone who brings concerns to the attention of management is labeled a complainer and dismissed.

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.
