Pros

Enjoyed my coworkers and loved my job and patients. Flexibility. Nothing else good to say about this company. Not a thing.

Cons

Lots of turnover. SC was a good company until Curo took over. It's horrible now. Everything is about money. They do illegal crap just to be the best hospice and get patients. They promise patients things that are illegal to do upon admission and leaves the regular team members to straighten it out. They get rid of good employees and lie to everybody. Hold off on raises and then get rid of you right before you are to get a raise. You take PTO and get reprimanded for it. Insurance is terrible. No advancement. Patients constantly complain about staff turnover & having to get a new worker. Sad when patients are complaining about this. There are always issues with tablets and computers/internet is always down. IT can't seem to correct the problems. It was good when it was SC but Curo took over and everything went to hell. Also, RN's and CNA'S are always getting thank you lunches, bonuses, etc. The rest of the the staff, chaplains, social workers, volunteer coordinator, bereavement coordinator, etc are looked upon as goo at the bottom of a barrel.

Pros

Staff are great and actually care about the patients and providing great quality care and building the relationships with family and patient.

Cons

It's ALL about the money. Management is so caught up in making money, quality of care is put on the back burner. For community relations, sales essentially, territories inside offices are not divided equally, yet everyone has the same target admissions required, making it impossible to meet goals. There is very little leadership in the office and no leadership from corporate. All corporate cares about is making that dollar. The monthly calls sprinkles the scent of caring, yet the trickle down of poor performance across the board is prevalent. Nurses are thrown to the wolves in a hurry, and no corporate appreciation for their, or any staffs for that matter, hard work. Very high nursing turnover, and understandably so. Local leadership amounts to confusion and fake smiles and caring. No support from corporate. No support from local "leadership". They gripe about the low admissions in the office, yet I have yet to see anyone higher than local "leadership" show up to help figure out why. Forget using "excuses" like - local competition, when your office isn't local or service failures from corporate. They expect you to become a magician and make admissions appear out of nowhere, or make these accounts forget that corporate hasn't paid them month after month, or the care is poor (most likely because the clinical staff are fed up). In a short time period, I have seen no less than 15 people quit. PTO system is horrible, insurance is a little better but not great (and expensive). Forget raises, but we have money for trips for the big dogs. This company has its priorities wrong and I do not think it will ever turn it around. They claim to be one of the largest hospices in America, that is because they buy up the struggling hospices and don't fix the reason why they were struggling in the first place. AVOID THIS SINKING SHIP AT ALL COSTS!
