If you're not drinking the kool-aide and crossing the bridge, forget it. You will never be part of the "in crowd." - Social Worker DaVita Employee Review

Pros

NONE for the corporation. Some very engaged professional staff who still focus on patient care, despite the over-hyped corporate games and administrators with little to no health care experience.

Cons

Pay below standards. Raises, non-existence for facility staff. Regional Managers and above living high on the hog, while 'teammates' barely living paycheck to paycheck. Waste of time and money carting the same people to meetings around the country. Really....retreats at football stadiums for facility administrators? Long hours. Unsafe, unclean facilities because staff have no time to properly clean. Assembly line approach to health care. Expensive benefits, with a big hit if you don't complete wellness. NO 401k/retirement options. The Triple Crown Reward incentive is a joke! Unattainable, and not focused on individual centers. Unless you're job is in Denver, then CEO (oh, I mean the 'mayor') then you're getting state of the art center, perks, volleyball games and plenty of time to 'volunteer.' No input from staff on goal setting. No leadership, only numbers.

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.
