Pros

The people on the floor are amazing, the patients are amazing. Very solid benefits. Very diverse staff, apart from management.

Cons

The pay is abysmal. They are not doing a great job maintaining a good workplace and compared to other centers, SITCAFF is not a main focus at the Central Mesa center. There is a reason they are being audited by the state. Career pathways are great if you want to stick with DaVita, but most of the staff want to jump ship due to being severely underpaid compared to other companies. Management is all white, and there is a strong culture and camaraderie disconnect between management and the people on the floor. A sense of entitlement and the are threatened by people who know their worth, who aren't commited to being DaVita lifers. There have been amazing people who have come in to the center that I have trained and that have shadowed me and they won't get hired because management sees them as a retention risk and it is too the point that we don't have enough bodies to function by company policy. For a company with a Latino CEO, there are a lot of racist white people in management who do not value quality diversity and inclusion.

Pros

The local team was great. The FA was the best. She knows how to lead and to build a team. Helping the patients and their families was the best part. Knowing you were helping them improve their quality of life was very rewarding.

Cons

Upper management. All the executives care about is money. All management above the FA level was terrible. Always cutting your hours even though you were full time. People in charge that have absolutely no experience in healthcare. Management and executives who don't understand medicine and how healthcare works or should be. They bully, don't support, and try to find things to get you in trouble. They want the nurses to only use AI instead of thinking and doing what is best for the patients. When I started with DaVita, it was a great place to work. Since the business people took over at the top, it has gone downhill and is simply awful. I do not recommend working here.
