Pros

Generous PTO for old timers. There should be lots of opportunities here because the people who know better are going to leave. I love the people I work with. It is an honor to work with people in their time of need.

Cons

New benefits plan, takes away $46.15 bi-weekly credit, essentially giving each employee a $1200 annual pay cut. Raises were frozen for two years, now max is 2%. LTC insurance no longer offered. 401K match reduced from 50% to 25%. New single health insurance option is HIGH deductible. Employees must pay $1250 out of pocket, before any benefit available. Many VITAS employees make $10 -$14/hr. Sr Management should be ashamed. Look up CHE, chemed stock to see the top people cashing out hundreds of thousands in stocks. "We take care of each other" is a VITAS value, which has been forgotten, and replaced with a push for employees to contribute what they have left to help other employees in need. The culture of subordinates pressured to give gifts to supervisors should be banned.

Pros

Rewarding to help patients and families. No direct patient contact. Good clinical support.

Cons

Extreme micromanagement. Non clinical leadership lacking understanding as to what Triage Nurses do and that not all calls are the same. Management by Exception practiced based on favoritism. Revolving door of Triage Nurses leaving and new hires requiring weeks of training resulting in the department being chronically understaffed.
