Pros

WAS a great company in 2002-2005

Cons

I have worked for this company for 10 years. I dedicated my life to this place. I gave up vacations, weekends and most nights. I was asked to start up a department and was given no staff, and next to no compensation. I lived the DaVita core values, until 7/12 when I was informed that my position had been eliminated. After all I had given up, I was pushed out by a new VP, Alan Cullop an IT hatchet man! There was no "team" or core values. They like to say "Village first, company second" and is as much bull_hit as it sounds. This company came in and cut several very long term employees for profit! This is a 7BILLION dollar company that has nickle and dimed us to death. For the last 6 years, I had been asked to "sacrifice" and take a 1% annual increase, while I have a 4 year old laptop that I use to death daily. I telecommute and at first, DaVita was paying my phone and internet bill, but that went away. Then I was asked to pay for the privilege of having a DaVita cell phone that I could be called on at any time, day or night...just ridiculous. I can go on and on, but you get the picture, a clikie bunch or jerks.

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.
