Pros

For Pct's, Lpn's and administrative assistants there are good promotional opportunities. Poor clinical tract opportunities for social workers. There are the advantages of a large company benefit package, but these are decreasing with each year.

Cons

Not treated with respect, clinical value of social workers not rewarded. Extra Shifts 3rd and nocturnal programs added without any additional compensation. Salary is taken as a license for high case loads. Highly stressful with many unneeded financial, insurance and clerical duties, prevent delivery of good social work pt. care

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.
