Pros
Good pay compared to other local medical companies. Good benefits. As the clinic social worker, you have the flexibility to do the work you want to do, when you want to do it. You know your deadlines and can basically make your own daily schedule. The work is easy and the complex situations that may arise really aren't that complex, on a social work scale. Overall, good company to work for.
Cons
Your experience with Fresenius is only as good as your local management. Our management team changed about halfway through my tenure, and it was not a positive experience. The overall morale at my clinic went from good to awful. It is nearly impossible to do your job well as a social worker if your manager doesn't comprehend what you do. My manager never fully understood the need for a renal social worker or bothered to understand why CMS requires us to be master-level clinicians. I ended up doing more secretarial duties because my manger thinks that's what social workers do. When I tried to approach management about it, I was met with hostility. I felt that Fresenius was no longer pushing me professionally in a positive way as a clinical social worker, so I eventually found employment elsewhere.
