Pros

There are no pros. People stay cause they can't find a job elsewhere but NOBODY likes working here

Cons

no 401k contribution. Ins choices stink, raises are paltry if at all ($.14-$.50) always pushing to clock in and out on time. Cut hours and pay with no notice. Run like a spending club for management. Corporate culture...BARF!!!!! That moron CEO gets to dress up like a knight and shout inane statement. The compliance is a joke and is presented at a five year old level. This place will make you stupid. Very little focus on the science of kidney failure tons of crap on being a good Davita employee. All charting programs run on DOS. In short this company lives for and at the mercy of the bottom line while the CEO made $23 mil salary last year.

Pros

Lots of free food left over from meetings. Paychecks are on time. Parking is good. Personal phone calls are allowed.

Cons

Teammates are not recognized for a job well done, but called on the carpet for the slighest mishap. Managers will not support each other with the fear of being terminated. It is basically if you kiss up to the right people you will be protected. Actually, I should correct that....Managers have been terminated based on false accusations without any due diligence of accusations. You can give your blood, sweat and tears and then some, and it can be over in a minute. I've seen it happen, and many good teammates have lost their jobs for wrong reasons. Never feel secure in your job at Davita. It is a very back stabbing organization.

Pros

Alot of good people working there. Of course, the adverse conditions of the workplace is probably what helps the employees to bond.

Cons

Very low pay compared to other companies with similar job positions. All management decisions are driven by the CEO, regardless of advice given to him, often resulting in foreseeable problems. Being forced to sing the company anthem for every group of visitors that comes to the office. Raises not given every year, even when the company is experiencing record profits. The CEO cries on cue every year at the annual meeting(it's very obvious that he thinks everyone is stupid and is buying his act). Excecutives that are abusive or even involved in some pretty serious sexual harassment are kept onboard. Executives that question the CEO's ideas are summarily dismissed. The company literally uses mild cult techniques to maintain control over the employees(seriously!). Tons of money is spent on luncheons, travel and retreats while money is needed for tools and raises.
