Pros

Some of the patients are nice. Some of the employees are nice.

Cons

DaVita claims to be a "Community first and a company second," yet they fail to invest in their staff or patients. Their focus is to be the largest company to provide dialysis to kidney patients. If they would slow the focus on growing their company and aim to focus on the staff, they may do better. "One for all and all for one" is not really what it is. I joined the company because of their values and mission, I do not feel that they are true to them. It's a corporation, they will be a corporation.

Pros

Patient connections is rewarding work, great hands on experience, paid on the job training, training for PCTs is at least consistent.

Cons

12+ hour long hours, emotionally and physically taxing, unqualified management, poor communication, inconsistent scheduling, high turn over, very little amount of opportunity for movement within the company despite preaching that they encourage it. The culture and values are heavily spoken about with little to no enforcement. The position requires significant dedication to learn all the moving parts of the clinic.
