Pros

Fulfillment from working directly with patients on a regular basis. Flexible hours, PTO accumulates quickly, decent pay and benefits. They have branches all over the country so there is a lot of availability if you choose to relocate. Social Workers are given flexibility to shape their own role. It's important to be an autonomous social worker, but still be able to collaborate with team members from other disciplines.

Cons

Typically there is one social worker per clinic, so you need to call or e-mail if you require social worker support. The company re-organizes often and does not always take into consideration if new policies are realistic for clinical staff. Lack of opportunity for promotion that does not include a lot of traveling. As someone committed to service, it is hard for me to participate in pushing pharmacy enrollment or other programs that are designed to help the company get more money from patients.

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.
