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.

Pros

Depending on location and your clinic, leadership team is incredibly supportive, which keeps the day-to-day work environment relatively stress-free. Having the independence to manage your own scheduling also allows for an excellent work-life balance.

Cons

The initial onboarding and training programs are highly disorganized and lack substance. Additionally, standard pay raises are quite low and do not feel competitive relative to the workload and current market value.
