Pros
Consistent employment barring any firings over trivial social matters. Patients are not going anywhere so business model is consistent in good times and bad. On a local consideration, DaVita provides a necessary service while providing better than average benefits over and above local small business.
Cons
Stress! Stress! Stress! Tight schedules to complete dialysis process. Often, too many patients in chairs with too few staff to cover to floor. Squeeze a nickle approach can be compromising for patients. Business model is critical care in kidney dialysis. Without the care...death ensues for individuals that have kidney failure. Company management varies at each clinic and region. Lack of consistent application of human resources rules makes it difficult on all teammates (employees). Pay is not in parity with the local median pay scales as defined by state department of labor for job description.
