Pros

The patients. Unfortunately, everything else about this company was negative.

Cons

ZERO work life balance. HUGE staff turnover, work at least 60-80 hours week (often more) while only getting paid salary for 40 hours. Constantly on call, out all night and no days off to compensate for spending multiple days and weekends each month on call, along with holidays. Nothing like promised in interview, where a rosy picture was painted. Very rare for RN's to stay as long as one year due to constant burn out. This company is a revolving door as the majority of reviews indicate. Save your sanity and keep looking, don't let Curo run you into the ground.

Pros

Enjoyed working with our clinical staff and Medical director was awesome. All were truly caring and put the patients needs first.

Cons

Always pressure to admit even if not "hospice" appropriate. You really have to defend your decision/assessment. Marketing seems to have more control than the clinical staff. they do not consider your work load or even ask before setting up appointments with pt/family for admission assessments. pt ratio is officially 12:1 but upper management won't allow office to hire full time nurse in preparation for growth, they insist census to reach and maintain the additional 10-12 pts before hiring. so really pt/nurse ratio stays around 14-16:1. as pt declines acuity levels increase and need for additional weekly (if not daily) visits arise. that is in addition to admissions, deaths, and prn visits. Management wants to utilize PRN nurses but that is just not the same as having another full time nurse to help with caseload. Charting gets pushed to the side and has to be completed after hours which cuts into personal/family time because full time=salary. I just didn't feel like i was giving the patients and families the care they needed or deserved at this point in their lives.

Pros

Some of the best coworkers I have ever worked with. If only upper management cared about their employees.

Cons

I worked for Curo for almost 4 years at their corporate office in NC. And to say that this company has their "Core Values" confused with "what Curo doesn't do" is an understatement. What is sad is they have, or had, some of the best and hardest workers I've ever worked with in my more than 17 years in my field. Both in Corp as well as throughout the field. Employees who went above and beyond every day only to always be told we want more of you, money money money (for themselves of course)....After working a 60 hour week. Upper management does not listen to it's employees nor care about ANYTHING other than census and them obtaining a better bonus. Another huge issue is the cliques....hard workers don't get raises, recognized or appreciated....it's ALL about who either is already friends with or sucks up to management/VPs. There's absolutely zero room for growth. When I first started and for the first few years.....I loved my job. But then Curo started getting money hungry. Couldn't even get through buying out one failing company accurately/completely before they were looking and buying out another while in the middle of numerous issues with the first one that still aren't fixed. Oh...you have a family???....forget about seeing them often. I had no issues working whatever OT was needed to get the job done. In fact I worked late, worked from home all the time and was available pretty much 24/7 to complete job's that management couldn't even complete but take the credit for .. when your "schedule" was 8-5. But, when a company works you to death, doesn't appreciate it, doesn't care...and on top of that gives raises and bonuses left and right to their upper management and sale's people but not the employees who deserve it. It's a slap in the face. ..ya who would think hospice has such an aggressive sales position?...just like a car salesperson! Who are pretty much given an expense account with zero limit....Victoria Secrets for employee christmas presents is a company expense how?? Not to mention the Lunch "meetings" daily for hundreds and thousands of dollars....per meal. Seriously. No raises or bonus this year but spent thousands of dollars on trips for management and their spouse's company paid...no exaggeration here. And more gift cards than you could imagine. No accountability....approved! Yet your employees work numerous hours extra, either for their regular salary or hourly/OT rate. As if they are doing us a favor by paying ot...it's the law! This company has completely gone down hill in the morality dept. And should you question or not totally agree and suck up....your job is threatened. A good manager listens to their employees and doesnt feel threatened by a good suggestion that betters a process or the company. Everyone is replaceable is how they think. Wish this company was like they were when I started. Always had the cliques in management....but at least you felt important....not just replaceable. The favoritism is outrageous as well. Curo is also being investigated for Medicare fraud...so do I suggest working for Curo? Absolutely not. They have some really great employees, dedicated employees, which they are losing due to poor management....and that's quite sad.
