Pros

Working 3 days per week

Cons

Stuck in isolation room for 4+ hours in full iso gear, unable to go to the bathroom or take a break; they cut your hours if you get called in overnight...you work 6 hours in the middle of the night, then lose 12 hour shift later in week so they can save on overtime; constant penny pinching; constant pressure to work off the clock; no lunch; Grand Rapids Michigan office horrible (mean!) management--not a leader a "boss"in every sense of the word. unfriendly fellow nurses...will leave you hanging and then tell you its your responsibility; you are responsible for your own training...oh and you better work on it on your own time...pushing and lifting heavy equipment all day; triplicate charting--paper, davita computer and hospital computer systems....low pay...one week you might get 36 or 40 hours, next week you get 27, sickening company rah rah sessions...all talk no action; get used to reporting to a PCT as an RN...they promote PCTs into management positions that oversee RNs and know NOTHING about the RN role...have a big problem with a PCT telling me what I should be doing as a nurse...I'll protect my license and make my own decisions as to how I'll practice thank you.....I could go on and on. So happy when I leave this place. Don't take this job....you have been warned!

Pros

DaVita is a great company with a great culture.

Cons

The great culture only partially permeates down to the Labs. The HR / PS department is a group of people that basically decide your fate. If you are part of their click, then you're good, but if you're not, your out. They influence senior leadership to seal your fate and you get "Managed Out". That's right, with them it's a popularity contest and if you don't make the cut, you're dog food. What's more interesting is that the department is basically unnecessary, HR has been centralized and having several HR / PS people in the Labs is just paying salary for nothing. They do some employee development training... well, the Labs have a training department that can handle that no problem.

Pros

There are no pros to working at Davita. Normally I would say Village awards or Triple crown bonuses which sound prestigious but don't nearly boost your income like matching 401k contributions would.

Cons

Working for Davita is like joining a cult. If you want to be an employee who doesn't question anything then this is the place for you! If you have a conscience and care about all your patients ( even those who are on medicare ) look elsewhere for employment. This employer thinks it should be the top priority in your life. I am 100% certain that this company participates in amoral and unethical practices. Do some research before letting this company drag you down and suck the life out of you!
