Pros

Was the most rewarding job I've ever had. I was so proud to refer people to SouthernCare, I could honestly tell people that their loved ones would be given the best care. The hospice aids truly improved these patients quality of life. And most of the other staff did too. The staff I worked with made me a better nurse. They helped me improve every aspect of patient care I provided.

Cons

We were bought by Curo. Worst thing that could ever happen. Major budget, and staff cuts, lost some of the best nurses, and CNAs I've ever met. What we used to provide for patients (medications, supplies, equipment, TIME) was all taken away. I completely got screwed over at the end. I left the company for personal reasons, not related to the buyout. But, all that being said, this particular office will continue to do whatever they can for the patients and their families. I can't speak for the other offices, but the people here are wonderful.

Pros

Good pay and benefits mostly

Cons

Shady management and lack of growth opportunities. When Promedica was acquired the CIO came over from Promedica and brought all of his friends over with him. My boss was one of his plants. My boss then brought over his bestie from Promedica and immediately started giving her all the career building work. He completely passed over the legacy Gentiva employees in favor of his bestie. 3 months later the CIO announced cuts needed for cost savings. No Promedica people were let go just Gentiva employees. 2 months later several Promedica employees were given raises and or promotions. In January of 2026 we had reviews. It came to be known that my boss gave his bestie the highest score on the team effectively giving her a nice raise. She had only been at the company 6 months and had no goals set. I was given a much lower score and the reason was not having good knowledge of something I asked leadership for training on but never received. I called my boss out on these things and even went to HR (huge mistake). He then found some pretext behavior of mine that occurred months before my complaints. I was never spoken to about the behavior or given steps to correct. Proving he was reaching. I was fired shortly after. Sr management is corrupt and is not transparent. Run don't walk away from this company.
