Pros

no Saturdays no late hours teammates are friendly and supportive great training Casual atmosphere

Cons

Cult like environment, if you do not participate in their "demeaning" activities(not all are demeaning)than you become an outcast. There is a high school mentality on my team, where my boss is the bully and the mean girl. No respect for employees work-life balance. Everyone is a slave to punching in and out constantly not wanting to go over one minute of 40hrs. Lunches are only an half an hour, and you are constantly monitored. A majority of the employees are new,they have a very high turnover.No 401K, small bonus if you supervisor doesn't forget to submit it . Thank god I have not tasted the DaVita Juice, and I am looking to get another job asap.

Pros

Stable company to work for with great benefits. DaVita offers tuition reimbursement, so it pays to go back to school and get a degree. They also help with career advancement and development.

Cons

If you are new to dialysis, it may take a while to reach a decent wage. You are required to work 12 hour shifts, mostly on your feet, and managers will always look to add to your workload.

Pros

The local team was great. The FA was the best. She knows how to lead and to build a team. Helping the patients and their families was the best part. Knowing you were helping them improve their quality of life was very rewarding.

Cons

Upper management. All the executives care about is money. All management above the FA level was terrible. Always cutting your hours even though you were full time. People in charge that have absolutely no experience in healthcare. Management and executives who don't understand medicine and how healthcare works or should be. They bully, don't support, and try to find things to get you in trouble. They want the nurses to only use AI instead of thinking and doing what is best for the patients. When I started with DaVita, it was a great place to work. Since the business people took over at the top, it has gone downhill and is simply awful. I do not recommend working here.
