Pros

I work on the business side, and it's a good company to work for. They try to incorporate core values into everyone's daily work life by doing a lot of odd things like throwing parties while on the job (with drinks) and having a fight song. They try to make it a nice place to work.

Cons

It's corporate America and even though they try not to look like their mission isn't to chase the almighty dollar, it is. The benefits package is pretty sorry, especially for a healthcare company. No 401k matching. And it's sad to see that healthcare, which is as old a trade as medicine men/women - has come down to capitalism, greed and competition.

Pros

Great teamwork among clinical teammate.

Cons

Davita needs to eliminate some of the unnecessary positions in the Village and divert the resources into the clinical floor where it matters!! They roll out too much initiatives without regard to their FAs and clinical team, and yet expect good productivity numbers!! If you are a dialysis nurse , being an administrator is a disadvantage. I also noticed that they have more young ruthless "business people" in their upper management, than clinical ones... It just shows that patient care is not the priority but making more money is. Davita needs to increase their support to their Administrators .

Pros

Good benefit package, average to high average pay rate compared with other employers in community. The doctors, social workers, registered dietitians, and nursing staff that I worked with at DaVita were intelligent, competent, and devoted to our patients and great to work with overall. Great "team"work to accomplish goals. Clinical team members are very committed to positive patient outcomes and continually working to improve them. Most are willing to go beyond what's expected to benefit the patient.

Cons

Too many managers telling you what to do/ how to do your job. Very top heavy organization. Need more clinical staff working with the patients. Clinical staff often are shared among facilities and pulled in too many directions at once, which makes communication difficult among other things. First layer of management is expected to fill in as nursing staff when they are short staffed in addition to doing their administrative/management duties. After receiving ONLY positive reviews of my performance from superiors, was "let go" for "performance reasons" after 1) refusing to work for free, 2) incurring overtime to address temporary increasied patient load/needs. If there were other 'real' reasons, my manager never told me about them. Patient care is not the first priority of management, money is.
