Pros

- The hours are flexible (can come and go as needed, so long as you're working your hours and getting everything done) - I have a lot a autonomy in the job that you don't necessarily get at an RD elsewhere - Coworkers are great for the most part - Good opportunities to build relationships with patients - Company RD meetings provide most of your required CEUs for maintaining your registration, and drug reps provide the rest - Recent changes to quality improvement metrics reflect a more appropriate focus on patient care rather than lab metrics

Cons

- Tend to overload their staff in general. For example, when I started with the company, full time for RDs was considered 100 patients, and now it's 120 - The company rolls out a ton of "initiatives" aimed at improving patient care without taking into account the extra time required to actually carry out these initiatives in a clinic - Bonuses have historically been based on patient outcomes, many of which you may not be able to directly influence despite best efforts

Corporate Culture: Political and Fake

Pros

Amazing cafeteria, beautiful HQ, located in sunny Denver.

Cons

This 'One for All' culture may work in the field (because you need a healthy culture when getting paid so little), but at corporate, it means nothing. They say that 'Fun' is their other core value. More like 'Watch Your Back'. This is a business whose margins are completely dependent on Congressional Medicare funding (which continuously gets cut). If healthcare is a cost cutting business, DaVita is just that in overdrive (rightfully so). If you want to create a wholesome company culture, then yes, corporate should emulate what it wants in the field. Unfortunately, this is only skin deep. Unfortunately, you can have 99 great relationships at this company and 1 'so-so' outlier, and you could be at risk for termination. This is what happened to me. While they 'pride' themselves on transparency, people are still people and politics and prejudices get in the way. All I'm saying is this: don't treat this company like the best thing since sliced bread, be direct and aggressive, forget the popsicles and rainbows, and you should be fine.
