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.

Pros

Great company to build a long-term career in dialysis. Fresenius offers good medical, dental, and retirement benefits, and there are opportunities for growth if you want to advance your career. One of the biggest advantages is the tuition assistance program for employees pursuing their RN, which makes continuing your education more affordable. The company also provides specialized dialysis training, helping you gain valuable skills and experience in nephrology. If you’re motivated and interested in growing within the organization, there are opportunities to move into leadership or other clinical roles.

Cons

As an LVN, it can sometimes be challenging to balance nursing responsibilities while also performing dialysis technician duties. Your role may vary from day to day—you might be assigned as the LVN one shift and float or work in a technician capacity the next. Because of this, flexibility is essential. Daily assignments can change based on patient census and staffing needs, so being adaptable is important for success in the role.
