Pros

was able to pretty much choose my own schedule

Cons

we had a supervisor who was not even a nurse. We did not know she was not a nurse,I went to her with nursing questions and she flubbed through giving answers. How can a manager who manages hundreds of CNAs, LPNS and RNs not even be a nurse? One box of gloves for a dying patient is NOT enough! Especially if they are declining, have diarrhea. Saving money at the expense of the patient is terrible!!! too cheap to give subQ meds which are more effective. Doctors do not know palliative care and give terrible orders to control symptoms. as a CHPN, I know better pain management than most of the doctors. it is frustrating. The health benefits , deductible is terrible. Still in debt from surgery I had.

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.
