Pros

The people who come in everyday and work hard with hearts and hands. KT holds his core values very strongly, it's a strong counter point against all his VP's and Directors.

Cons

Management calls success a cube that can't be any smaller because of fire code laws success. They have zero respect for IT and it shows in how they banish them from the HQ building into a building no one wants to be in, and shrink the cubes because having a space where you aren't on top of one another is a luxury. Provide an actual path to develop your non resource managers. Technical people should be promoted more often then once every 8 years. Every director tries to power build so that they can be a VP, they ignore all the core values because their promotion is all they can focus on.

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.
