DaVita reviews

I have worked for DaVita for six years and have had 4 different managers. My merits don't even come close to the cost of livivng increase and bennifit increase every year. Hour are up and down depending on census, but each clinic is different. All the AA do different things. I have even had to train someone with no experience in dialysis and they made a dollor more an hour then I did with 5 years experience. There is no pay scale, but are title levels and if you increase your title level it does not mean it will increase your pay. Always under staffed and over worked. RN's working open to close 3 or 4 full shifts, 18 hour days. Lack of leadership in clinic and multiple complaints of Facility Administrator by TM's and patients not being addressed.

Pay is middle of the road. Not a place to spend entire career. Insurance companies are paying less for care so it will be tough sledding. Redwood program brings in young MBAs who are promoted to roles without understanding the impact it has on morale of others. Many Redwoods have negative impact but still remain with company. To non-Redwoods, advancement does not seem possible. Cliques, cliques, cliques. No 401K match. They keep telling people that there is no reason and profit sharing is better. Still, people ask, so the message is not getting out nor well received.
