Great Company, Great History, Great Opportunities, Time to Reward Field Staff

Business Outlook

Pros

VITAS has resources and education through the network of offices. There are great opportunities for relocation and promotion across the company.

Cons

There is the industry stereotype regarding the "for-profit" status of VITAS. When employees understand that for profit hospices pay taxes to local infrastructure and do not solicit additional funds in the same way as "non-profits" they can answer the questions. Given that all hospices are reimbursed in the same manner, perhaps all should pay taxes on their income. People confuse their local non-profit hospice for donor funded organizations. Donations to Hospice Foundations could remain the 503c. Non-profits tend to build huge offices and complexes. For-profits work harder to expand services to more clients.

My overall experience was great!

Pros

PTO, Benefits, Friendly Environment. The work is not difficult. The software is easy to learn. Coworkers always there to help. Lost of training and patience. Most of the senior management is easy to talk to. GM makes it a priority to know everyone by name. Employee of the month in various departments receive a bonus check.

Cons

Lots of Gossip, Senior Management care more about the Team Managers than the rest of the employees. Some of the Managers give their workload to their assistants. Not a lot of incentives to keep coming to work other than, the paycheck.

A good place to work, but "good old boy (girl)" network powers upper management

Business Outlook

Pros

Satisfying career caring for people who really need help, with very reasonable support from the company for supplies and medicines. No one was ever deprived of anything needed for symptom control, and even most "nice to have for comfort" supplies and assignments were approved.

Cons

Knee-jerk reactions to company stresses such as memos from headquarters or a decline in census. Power for any change was in the hands of the people who were in the program when it started, regardless of their current position or authority.
