Pros

Company profit sharing, when bonuses are given they are usually good and worth your time. There are several social workers to share resources for patients.

Cons

This company's name depicts "he she gives life" but has no regard towards the wellbeing of it's workers or their quality of life. They are disorganized, and they are not willing to pay their allied health professionals competitive salaries. Moreover, they are not willing to allow social workers the opportunity to practice the field in which they were trained and overall they function as secretaries.

Pros

Dedicated, loyal teammates who truly care about their patients and their job

Cons

No opportunity for advancement. Davita would rather hire someone from the outside with no experience than promote from within.

Pros

The health benefits were pretty good, through Cigna. There are locations all over the country so if you have to move, odds are you will be able to find a clinic where you are going to. They also have business offices in a number of areas if you're not in a clinic environment.

Cons

I have never in all my years of working met a group of more immature people than at Davita. Management is political in the high school sense. I thought a corporate environment was political but Davita could give lessons. Promotions and even keeping your job is based on whether or not managers are friends with you. Mine was a pathological liar, sweet to my face and back stabbed me when I wasn't around. The internal systems are difficult to work with and don't communicate well between them. Finding anything on the "Village Web" (their intranet) is next to impossible. Patients who are on commercial insurance are practically worshiped. They send out "guest services" people to welcome them to the clinic and will bend over backwards for any whim they might have. On the other hand Medicare patients are virtually ignored. The clinic staff doesn't treat them different but corporate clearly sends a message that Medicare/Medicaid patients are a burden and that they love "hipper" patients because they can charge commercial insurance more per treatment. Which is very interesting given that 95% of their patients are on Medicare!
