Amedisys Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Amedisys part-time for more than a year

Pros – Work with very nice and professional people, pay for continuing education, have good pay rates, flexible time schedule.

Cons – The worst part of working here has been my computer. It is a piece of trash and will not connect most of the time, so I have to go into the office every at the beginning and end of the day to transfer pt information. I had a better computer at one point, but it died and no one can seem to get this one to work. Most of the people I work with say their computers die about once a year. They are a pain!

Advice to Senior Management – Thanks for being so nice and treating me like a friend and professional. It is a nice change.

DOO and other clinicians are great to work with.
Several options available to make extra money:)

Health Insurance is expensive!!

Advice to Senior Management – Sometimes experience should overcome education.
Increase mileage rates, gas is getting too expensive!
Increase pay per visit rate for LPN's and RN's(esp for starts, recerts and PH).
If Honda Employees can pay $10/wk for family health insurance with 10/ded. I think Amedisys can do better than the insurance that we have now.

Current Employee – been working at Amedisys

Pros – Great pay, excellent training. Flexible work schedule. Never alone help is only a phone call or e-mail away. Potential for professional growth

Cons – Pay per visit is nice but it causes greed example is the RN's can control a LPN's paycheck and managers don't want to be bothered with this
Managers are allowed to speak to employees in a less than respectfull manner
When problems are brought to management they turn the other way as long as the visits are covered

Advice to Senior Management – Listen to your employees. Handle a problem in a professional manner, not a personal one. Care center should act as a unit not 3 seperate entities. Because someone has worked here for a long time does not make them a good employee. Hold people accountable and make them treat everyone with dignity and respect.

Current Employee – been working at Amedisys

Pros – Good benefits and being a major company

Cons – Too high of quotas & expectation - they should look @ each individual territory - for what works in one area may not work in another area...Consider the territory

Advice to Senior Management – Listen more to your people

Current Employee – been working at Amedisys

Pros – The pay and benefits are very competitive, and Amedisys is a large, but young company that isn't stuffy and arrogant. It's nice to be part of something good, making a positive difference in people's lives.

Cons – Amedisys has grown very quickly, and it's good they're taking a moment to "digest" all the acquisitions. Orientation and especially IT support are pretty poor. Orientation is actually pretty lengthy and developed, but it's designed for corporate to being able to protect itself, not as much to actually orient employees. Seems like IT focuses on its development work, and desktop support is kind of the neglected stepchild.

Advice to Senior Management – You know where the problems are... keep working to fix them. More internal engagement of staff to try to connect corporate and all the offices together.
