Pros

The downtown Denver area is awesome! Company headquarters are awesome! The company’s intent is admirable! Their delusion that they are creating an amazing atmosphere and developmental opportunities for teammates is interesting!

Cons

Lower on the salary scale with small raises They use GSD (get stuff done) as a measurement in your review to push you to the breaking point but then preach work/life alignment and fulfillment They hire teammates and fast track them into leadership without coaching them thus creating a lot of unqualified leaders who frustrate those who work for them They promote based on favoritism and “same as me” mentality You are encouraged to speak up and provide feedback but you’d better do that exactly how “they” would do it or you’re wrong Everyone is expected to be a perfectionist but they preach safe space for errors You are expected to read your leader’s mind because they haven’t been coached enough yet in any of the leadership academies/classes (DWOM, DWOL) on how to communicate well Unless you are in the right age bracket, you are ignored and don’t receive support for your career goals unless you are already at or beyond a certain level And... there’s no such thing as diversity and belonging at DaVita - that’s corporate speak for trying to keep themselves out of EEOC complaints

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.
