Toxic Environment

Indeed Featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed
The environment is very toxic because, management created this type of atmosphere and the Medical Director (Doctor) continues to allow for this to occur (The Devil Wears Prada). Management needs to get educated and learn compassion, be business savvy, be better communicators (we deal with people everyday). You don't need a mafia style approach, "Its Hospice". It just shows the lack of competency, professionalism, knowledge and experience you possess (it's there somewhere,so find it!) to successfully run a company. I wish I could say that the Medical Director isn't to blame, but, he is just as guilty because, it's his company and he has to be involved in every aspect of it. Although, he is a very busy body, he has always been well aware of the damage and destruction management has amassed. There are so many great employees who have worked there (both past and present). Yet, turn over rates continue to be an ongoing problem. The Medical Director needs to take time to really reflect on who makes and will ultimately break the company's success. No, its certainly not just management's sinister dictatorship practices but, the lack of retention from good compassionate people who desire to still work for CHPC (spreads like wildfire). Without great employees the company will never flourish (it's not just a numbers game). These are real people's lives your dealing with. Although, management can easily fire and maybe rehire 6-8 people in a month, what does that say about the company and the community they are attempting to serve. I really wish the company the very best in their endeavours - 

Pros

Company Vehicle

Cons

The company car is the selling point for new hires, Its also the way management leverages their power, and can abuse of their employees.

Caring and supportive work atmosphere

I Love working at Comprehensive Hospice. I have been here for 2 years and experienced in the beginning what some of the previous reviews were stating about some of the management. The toxic person is gone!! What an amazing group of people I work with!! I feel very lucky to be apart of team team that is like family. We look out for each other and help one another and that includes the CEO and Medical director and now our new ED! They are very supportive and care about us personally. It is so nice to be appreciated and heard!. This is a great place to work. I plan to be here a very long time.

Pros

car, gas card, never feeling alone in the field, managment

Cons

I really can't find any

I truly enjoy my job and this company

As you know, it only takes 1 person to ruin a job environment for you. The person spoken of in these reviews has now moved on. Management is now seen as compassionate, respectful, and encouraging. They recognize when you are at your limit, and the team always steps in to help. You never feel alone.

Pros

Gas card, Company car, easy EMR, positive people, no drama queens

Cons

Your day hardly ever goes as planned in this industry, therefore you have to be super flexible.

Sad to be leaving

I love the team of nurses I have worked with! The CEO/CFO is a wonderful person and really listens and cares about her employees.The physician owner was always available for questions or concerns, and was always kind and patient. The nurses support one another and work seamlessly together. If I wasn't moving out of state, I would never leave.

Biggest bullies in healthcare . Scandalous.

I really enjoyed talking to the MD and learning from him but all other office staff, managers and " owners" were EXTREME bullies , condescending , manipulative liars. I would never ever tell someone to apply here or to allow their loved ones to receive hospice care through them. Almost they care about is numbers, and how much money you can bring to them.

Pros

Not a one

Cons

If you value your professional license, avoid this company

Horrible

They just do not care about their staff. The management is horrible and still horrible after years. For the company to get better, it starts with the management. They’re always firing people and people are always quitting. The management talks to you like a little child. They have no respect. They can get rude and nasty. They play dirty and not by the books at all, so unprofessional!

Pros

Coworkers were nice

Cons

Management, all of them.

Recent changes made

Don’t let these negative reviews, influence your decision to apply here! The spur of negativity, and implicated employee abuse, has since been resolved , with the recent changing of management. Personally, I have actually never enjoyed a job more, than I do here. And you will never find a more dedicated, compassionate, involved, intelligent team, and Medical Director !

Find employment elsewhere

Hospice is a very rewarding career, this company is horrendous. . Expect to case manager 16 to 19 patients, consistently having your patients be re-staffed due to field staff leaving, staff being terminated changes in assignments and policy. Very high turnover with this company. They rule by intimidation, demand you see your full caseload and then take their triage after hours, expect to take calls all night and than work again in the morning. If you don't respond to their emails to take their triage, they threatened to automatically assign you.Triage often case managers patients due to fluctuating employee census and lack of case managers.

Pros

super field staff

Cons

management

Worst hospice award

If you want to work yourself to death, have absolutely no life outside work , be constantly berrated by unethical management , and have constant stress , then this is the company for you. If not, RUN.

Pros

Field staff is very good

Cons

Too many to mention here

Company Car Not Worth Your Soul

Beware of this company. They are unethical in every way from bogus patient admissions, poor patient care, to horrendous unfair treatment of employees. Nurses are salary here, so you will be worked into the ground and told you don't do enough. Hospice is honorable work, but this is not an honorable company.... Look elsewhere

Pros

Company Car, Triage team

Cons

Poor management, stressful, unethical

Very stressful place to work under former Management

I love hospice work, but working here was a nightmare. A lot of very unhappy employees who walked on eggshells. Staff was great, but certain upper management made it intolerable.

Pros

Great employees

Cons

Management made it intolerable

Horrible leadership, micromanaging, stressful

Working for hospice is an amazing career! However, I would highly recommend not working here. This used to be a wonderful company to work for and unfortunately the leader currently in place has managed to make it a miserable place to work. Employees have no value, are mistrusted, overworked, and constantly criticized and brought into the office for disciplinary action. Patient care is no longer the focus and it all about being controlled. The only benefit is that they are some amazing clinical staff who work here (and are constantly dreading their day) and a company car which was instituted by the previous regime. The current leadership has no idea what hospice regulations are and have never laid eyes on a patient... EVER. If you are looking for long term employment I would not recommend this place. Just be careful if you are considering working here, the car is not worth it. Extremely high turnover and many patients without case managers being covered by nighttime triage. Case loads of 16 plus you are demanded to go do admissions even after hours. Of course you can say no, but you will become a target.

Pros

Company car

Cons

Everything else

People are of no value

This is a very stressful place to work. The atmosphere is one of "We can fire you for any reason at any time." Most of the employees walk on eggshells fearing they will lose their job. Because of this there is a high turn over. One of the owners (there are five, you can't turn around without bumping into one of them) actually tells all new hire groups, "We can fire you at any time." Many new hires have actually cried because they felt they made a bad decision coming to the company. They do not value people. Which hurts their customer service. They believe people are easily replaceable -interchangeable parts. Rotating nurses and other staff does not provide for good continuity of care for their patients. They provide cars (at a cost to the employee), iPhones and iPads.

Pros

Fully stocked break room with snacks and drinks

Cons

People have no value, poor benefits package, stressful work environment
