Pros

big company plenty of opportunities to grow specially if you have a background in nursing good training in some regions

Cons

The company pays salaries for RN and PCTs way under market. US Renal and Fresenius are always improving offers for up to $5 per hour more than Davita. We, FAs, get stock with having to hire new nurses and expected to retain them after they are trained despite the great difference in salaries. This would be easier if we were able to keep a decent core level so we don't overwork all the experienced nurses to the ground. The Core values really work for positions FA and above. The troops on the ground don't have the stamina or the will after 16 hours shifts to volunteer or be "fun".

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.
