Pros

The company really care about their people. The company exercise their values and culture from the top down. The company is very open to ideas and continuous improvement. The company allows for growth and development. The company is good about work life balance.

Cons

The base pay is in the lower 10 percentile, pretty much across the board (I've had viability to the salary budgets). Bonuses are low if given at all and even if negotiated higher, is still subjected to the bonus pool at the end of the year, regardless of your performance and outcomes. Profit sharing is non substantial and used more so as a sales pitch for benefits. As in any company this size, there are incompetent leaders sprinkled in.

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.
