Pros

Job assignments to ONE patient, allowing older nurses to cope easier with the workload. They're paychecks always cleared, small as they were.

Cons

Scheduling of Per Diem employees is awful, very few shifts given. You will NEVER get a raise. You will NEVER get Health Insurance. In mandatory quarterly meetings employees are routinely insulted and treated disrespectfully. I was three times accused of neglect and verbal abuse when I was later proven to have done the the work in question ( The bandage was there, dated, and charted in the Nurses notes, and again when accused of saying something off color to the Client, it was later discovered to have been said by the Primary nurse who was also on site) Lastly I was openly called "stupid" in a quarterly meeting for asking a question about Time charting. ( I've never been called stupid even when I was in the Construction business in my younger days!) BEWARE, I guess there's some really inconsiderate employers out there these days, and Vitas is one of them

Pros

Vitas Healthcare is a great place to work. There is effective positive communication about our dedication to our mission and values. The benefits are excellent which include generous PTO time and matching 401K.

Cons

I cannot think of any areas of improvements.

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.
