Pros

DaVita is a great company with a great culture.

Cons

The great culture only partially permeates down to the Labs. The HR / PS department is a group of people that basically decide your fate. If you are part of their click, then you're good, but if you're not, your out. They influence senior leadership to seal your fate and you get "Managed Out". That's right, with them it's a popularity contest and if you don't make the cut, you're dog food. What's more interesting is that the department is basically unnecessary, HR has been centralized and having several HR / PS people in the Labs is just paying salary for nothing. They do some employee development training... well, the Labs have a training department that can handle that no problem.

Pros

Management supports a work-life balance, hours are flexible, okay benefits. Good training opportunities and there is effort by management to support a good work culture. 6 weeks at 80% of pay Paternity/Maternity & Adoption leave. 401K with 6% matching. For 2 adults, we pay for Davita's Anthem BCBS healthcare plan and it is $350/month (4,700 deductible).

Cons

Payscale isn't aggressive - 1% raise each year. You also may be asked to cover other clinics temporarily without fair compensation for the extra workload.
