Pros

Excellent training program Good pay Opportunities for advancement You get to know your patients very well & look forward to seeing them

Cons

Too cheesy for words! Required verbage: we are not a facility, or office. We are "a Village". GAMES are required... To be played during the workday, in front of the patients!!!". You're not allowed to say "Merry Christmas" to a pt, even if they say it to you. First; you must reply "Happy Holidays." The setting is one room, the patients are sitting all around you, and my very immature boss was staring at me thru a glass window, making faces, which was part of his jOB of forced fun in the workplace. Beyond micromanaging- if they could control my thoughts (they tried very hard), they would have! Even the "parties" were required, outside of business hours. No flexibility at all for time off! I was very excited to be hired because I had wanted to learn dialysis, for years. I made a fast U-turn out of there, after 3 months. Immediately after leaving, I bumped into a consultant they hired to help their managers- she said they had a 70% turnover rate!!

Pros

My direct team Knowing that what I do helps people that are very ill. I wish I could say more....

Cons

Management does not know how to treat the teammates that make the company run daily. Benefits, Raises, people being hired on in upper management positions that have absolutely no exp in the area. Only because of who they know. Bonuses are being giving top upper management in the 10's of thousands yearly per person, while the vast majority of "teammates" get a few hundred only if a company goal is met. Management is out of touch with the teammates. Millions and millions of dollars(I 'm talking 10's of millions) are being spent every years for multiple parties that they like to call Nationwide and Academy. Management is full of themselves and it is disgusting. They plaster the core and values everywhere, just for show. Their actions speak louder than their words ever will. The CEO goes by "Mayor", it fits him well, he is a politician, and that is not a compliment. They are out for themselves and will use up everyone they can to get the most they can. They are more worried about the videos or pictures that they put out there to show that "they care". You could write a book on all the wrong that has been and continues to be done by upper management.
