Toxic Environment
RN, CNA, MSW, Manager, HR, (Former Employee) - Phoenix, AZ - July 1, 2019
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedThe 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
RN Triage Nurse (Current Employee) - Phoenix, AZ - February 18, 2022
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

I truly enjoy my job and this company
RN Case Manager (Current Employee) - Phoenix - February 11, 2022
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.

- Run forrest , run
CNA - Certified Nursing Assistant (Current Employee) - Phoenix, AZ - October 28, 2020
Job security and advancement In terms of job security at Comprehensive Hospice and Palliative Care, I think your clearly mistaken - there is no job security. They’ve been firing coworkers the whole month and it’s absurd and demotivating , good people , good staff . Management In general, managers at Comprehensive Hospice and Palliative Care are absolutely terrible and Fake , overwhelmed and frumpy group of chain smoking phoneys Overall My experience working at Comprehensive Hospice and Palliative Care is an absolute nightmare

Sad to be leaving
HospiceTriage RN (Former Employee) - Phoenix, AZ - April 7, 2020
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.
RN (Former Employee) - Phoenix, AZ - September 25, 2019
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
RN, CNA, MSW, etc (Former Employee) - 2111 e highland ave - July 17, 2019
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
RN Case Manager (Current Employee) - Phoenix, AZ - July 7, 2018
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
RN Case Manager (Former Employee) - Phoenix, AZ - August 8, 2017
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

Company Car Not Worth Your Soul
RN Case Manager (Former Employee) - Phoenix, AZ - June 23, 2017
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

Cons
Management made it intolerable

Horrible leadership, micromanaging, stressful
RN Case Manager Hospice (Former Employee) - Phoenix, AZ - July 21, 2016
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
Undisclosed (Former Employee) - Phoenix, AZ - March 20, 2014
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
