Pros

Make you feel like your part of something

Cons

Many of the long term colleagues I worked with for many years were terminated throughout the organization as their jobs were "eliminated" or suddenly told their performance was poor. The saddest part is that many of these individuals were consistently rated well in reviews and abruptly exited. The loyalty at DaVita is only to the inner sanctum of Ivy League and former high end consultants. Expect to be managed by a fresh faced graduate from Stanford, Yale, Harvard, etc. who have little, or no, practical experience.

Pros

Core Values. Company is good for new nurses and techs just starting out in career due to low salary and lack of decent benefits.

Cons

If you get a yearly raise it is low if any. Bonus potential in a letter is just to lure you in. You will not get the bonus potential or even close. They only give 25% of potential. It is so bad. PTO is included in all time off so calculate that. Vacation and sick leave - none. Included in the low number of PTO days. No 401K. They will tell you these very small bonuses about $300 after taxes are the 401K. Doesn't even come close to a real 401K. Pay will get you paycheck to paycheck, You will not get ahead in FA role. No advancement opportunity. They don't promote their own FAs. We are "not good enough" or of caliber as the Senior leader has told us on phone calls. No advancement above FA level, no raises or little ones, little bonus, no 401K, no vacation or sick pay. High turnover and there are good reasons.

Pros

Great co-workers, most who embraced the concept of "team".

Cons

It's all about the numbers. Sad, but true, it really isn't about what's best for the patient...it's about doing anything that makes the "numbers" (lab values, access rates, catheter rates, %signed up for Davita Rx) look good. We are hounding and harassing patients every day instead of steadily teaching, exploring reasons for non-compliance and encouraging them. Point-of-care staff are constantly criticized. Can't do enough. High staff turnover and no experience in the clinic. Too many responsibilities and not enough time to complete work accurately. HIGHLY outdated computer systems that don't even share data. Underhanded methods of getting rid of higher-paid/experienced point-of-care staff. Pretty obvious that this company is run by bean-counters and not folks with degrees/experience in healthcare.
