Pros

The health benefits were pretty good, through Cigna. There are locations all over the country so if you have to move, odds are you will be able to find a clinic where you are going to. They also have business offices in a number of areas if you're not in a clinic environment.

Cons

I have never in all my years of working met a group of more immature people than at Davita. Management is political in the high school sense. I thought a corporate environment was political but Davita could give lessons. Promotions and even keeping your job is based on whether or not managers are friends with you. Mine was a pathological liar, sweet to my face and back stabbed me when I wasn't around. The internal systems are difficult to work with and don't communicate well between them. Finding anything on the "Village Web" (their intranet) is next to impossible. Patients who are on commercial insurance are practically worshiped. They send out "guest services" people to welcome them to the clinic and will bend over backwards for any whim they might have. On the other hand Medicare patients are virtually ignored. The clinic staff doesn't treat them different but corporate clearly sends a message that Medicare/Medicaid patients are a burden and that they love "hipper" patients because they can charge commercial insurance more per treatment. Which is very interesting given that 95% of their patients are on Medicare!

Pros

I enjoyed Davita's family oriented culture. They consider themselves a village instead of an organization. They are very good about promoting morale and they offer great benefits and perks.

Cons

I think that my experience with my supervisor and some employees was an isolated event and is in no way a representation of Davita as a whole. I experienced a lack of communication with my supervisor. He somehow thought that I was a mind reader and expected me to be able to know what his expectations are without having to express them to me. There was also some interoffice drama that was fueled by a lack of structure within the department.

Pros

I have never worked at a company who supports the personal and professional growth of it's teammates so passionately. It offers fantastic opportunities for leadership development, clinical skills training and all of the management that I have worked with have been personally supportive of my career at DaVita.

Cons

Compensation is lower than where I would like to see it. The benefits are adequate but not great.
