Pros

I can't think of anything

Cons

- Just Focused on Pride and company image and cost cutting. I would not recommend Davita as a place to work neither to suggest to any dialysis patient to have their treatment there.

Pros

Pretty straight training system. You do learn and can advance if you work hard.. If you like to work independently you have that option also. You can be left alone to work for the most part. If you just wanna work and keep your head down you can do that. Plenty OT when its busy.

Cons

Underpaid! Big time. Starting is 39 bucks. On calls shift actually becomes a regular night shift each week. Technically you work 3 days and 1 night a week. They try and advertise the 1 on call night a week as STAT only cases but they call you in for routine cases with no night shift differential or night pay. Just you coming at night getting regular pay. They call it on call shift but its really you coming it later to complete the remaining assignments for the fourth shift of your week, not considered OT either. Ruins your sleep patterns and you dont recover because next week here comes another night shift after you've already work 3 days shift. Also schedulers(ppl who information you about new orders) that work in the office get real rude. Not fun being lectured about clinical needs by someone that have zero medical background. Scheduler slowly begin to act like your boss. Its terrible. If you have any sense of independence and experience you will absolutely hate schedulers.

Pros

Great office in a great location. You have the opportunity to work with some extremely intelligent individuals. The core values and mission of the company are admirable but just wish they were actually lived out. You do get to work on some cool initiatives and projects. Some teams allow one "work from home" day per week.

Cons

Unorganized and messy structure with a lack of standardized processes that leads to a bit of a "wild west" atmosphere. Siloed teams with no communication practices in place for leadership to be aware of what's going on. Not paid enough to be dealing with that mess. Values and mission that aren't lived out or seen in practice which feels very hypocritical. Told that you'll have a great opportunity to advance but in reality, external candidates ONLY are considered for openings instead of promoting internally within the team. You're most valuable where you are so they don't want to move you. Promotions are few and far between for some teams. Upward mobility feels out of your control and does not reflect your performance. PTO is not good until you've worked there for years. Culture lacks a consistent focus on the real purpose of health care: the patient. CEO is glorified and put his name/picture on too much when we should instead be recognizing those clinicians in the front line running our clinics and caring for patients.
