Pros

Mission-Driven Company: DaVita is known for its strong commitment to improving patient care and providing quality healthcare services to individuals with kidney disease. Many employees feel proud to be part of a company with such a meaningful mission.

Cons

Lack of Work-Life Balance: Despite some positive reviews, many employees report struggles with maintaining a healthy work-life balance, especially in clinical or field roles. The demands of the healthcare industry can lead to long hours and high stress, which can impact personal time and well-being. Poor Leadership: Some employees have expressed dissatisfaction with the leadership at DaVita. There have been reports of inconsistent management practices, lack of support, and poor communication from higher-ups, which can create confusion and frustration among staff. This can be particularly challenging in teams that lack clear guidance or mentorship. Constant Organizational Changes: DaVita has undergone frequent restructuring, mergers, and changes in leadership, which can lead to instability and uncertainty. Many employees feel that constant changes in direction or strategy create confusion and make it difficult to stay focused on long-term goals. Limited Career Growth for Some Roles: While there are many opportunities for advancement in some departments, other roles within the company may lack clear career paths or opportunities for growth. Employees in certain positions may feel stuck without clear progression. High Employee Turnover: Some employees report a high turnover rate, especially in specific roles like clinical or customer-facing positions. This can result in burnout, overwork, and a lack of continuity in patient care or team dynamics. Heavy Workload: In some departments, employees mention a heavy workload and the expectation to handle a high volume of tasks in a short amount of time. This can lead to stress and feelings of being overburdened, especially when adequate resources or support aren't available.

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.
