Pros

The health benefits were pretty good, through Cigna. There are locations all over the country so if you have to move, odds are you will be able to find a clinic where you are going to. They also have business offices in a number of areas if you're not in a clinic environment.

Cons

I have never in all my years of working met a group of more immature people than at Davita. Management is political in the high school sense. I thought a corporate environment was political but Davita could give lessons. Promotions and even keeping your job is based on whether or not managers are friends with you. Mine was a pathological liar, sweet to my face and back stabbed me when I wasn't around. The internal systems are difficult to work with and don't communicate well between them. Finding anything on the "Village Web" (their intranet) is next to impossible. Patients who are on commercial insurance are practically worshiped. They send out "guest services" people to welcome them to the clinic and will bend over backwards for any whim they might have. On the other hand Medicare patients are virtually ignored. The clinic staff doesn't treat them different but corporate clearly sends a message that Medicare/Medicaid patients are a burden and that they love "hipper" patients because they can charge commercial insurance more per treatment. Which is very interesting given that 95% of their patients are on Medicare!

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.
