Pros

If you are interested in taking care of patients in their final moments and assisting their families then it is a job you would greatly appreciate; just dont expect the Fort Worth, TX office to treat you fairly or with any degree of professionalism.

Cons

Sr. management of the Fort Worth TX office do not treat the employee's with respect or understanding when hardships of their own come up. FW office management has shown itself to be very cold and calculating; when case load drops employees are forced to use their PTO to get their full hours instead of using it as it was inteded for PERSONAL TIME OFF. Other Vitas office sites will bring staff into the office to help until case load increases but assuring that employee their FT hours without sacrificing their PTO.

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.
