Pros

Enjoy the patients and some of the team members. I like the fun core value. The pay is not too bad, but could improve.

Cons

The FA position is a joke!! You're a gloried charge nurse with no support. FA spends more time working on the floor, than getting necessary time to complete all the overwhelming work done to be successful in this role. Then, there is no organized management training...left on your own to figure out things when you're still expected to complete all the tasks deadlines. Leadership has cliques, shows favoritism, lots of nepotism, and retaliates if you don't agree with their opinions. You're a marked target for attrition; you're ostracized if you're not in the cliques. If the leadership doesn't like the FA, they are openly rude and short-tempered with you in meetings or when you reach out to them. Just a hostile work environment ! Not to mention the unrealistic company goals that nonclinical upper leadership sets for the FAs to drive. Very long days with no appreciation or compassion from the leadership. Sink or swim mentality! This position will pull your soul out of you; chronic overwhelming stress that causes health problems for everyone. No work-life balance. Misleading in the interviews! Would not recommend this company.

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.
