DaVita reviews

The stated company values do not match the reality. Employees are not treated as portrayed in writing or "publicity" materials. An employee must be diligent about checking their paycheck to make sure the correct amounts were deducted. When you leave, you will not receive your PTO payout. AFTER your insurances have terminated, they will still be taken out of your last check even though they should not be. Employees are expected to participate in "volunteer" activities at their own expense and on their own time . . . even if these "volunteer" activities are to do paperwork for another DaVita location. In addition, employees are constantly expected to donate money for this or that organization or event - but it is all done in the name of the company. If you do not participate in these "volunteer" activities, you may eventually be let go for "lack of involvement in the community." The health insurance provided is not very good - and it does not cover many things covered by plans at other companies. Do not expect promotions or sizeable pay increases even though you are an excellent employee with excellent production . . . expect to be given an excuse for the 0% or 1% pay increase. You must be part of management's clique to get a decent pay increase or a promotion. If you find anything wrong with their "systems," you will be terminated.

The FA and those at the top get all the glory while I am the one putting in long days for the "numbers" to be good. The PCTs work hard during turnover, but the rest of the time they are on their phones or the internet. As the dietitian, I do not have that luxury. I am always working--oftentimes on my weekends doing special projects for the patients. I do a little bit of everyone else's job--social worker, AA, and clinical coordinator but no one ever does my job. I work tirelessly and do not feel like that is rewarded.
