Pros

Benefits and multiple different shift start times for on call

Cons

ALWAYS multiple scheduled visits every night. Usually, ‘on call’ means emergencies with an occasional ‘scheduled’ visit. They have you going to the office or inpatient units to pick up supplies and/or go to pharmacies to deliver to patients in the middle of the night. These things should have already been ordered and delivered to patients by their case managers. Obviously case managers are not doing their jobs. Their territory is huge, from at least McKinney/Prosper all the way to Waxahachie or further. If you have to drive during rush hour it could take you 2 & 1/2 hours or more just to get to the visit. Also, this is one of the largest hospice companies and they still use paper to chart.

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.
