Pros

Perfect stepping stone to get your foot in the healthcare field. That being said - they will literally hire ANYBODY..

Cons

Compared to other dialysis providers, I found that DaVita operated in a more corporate-driven environment, with a stronger focus on operational metrics than on patient-centered care. The workload for technicians and nurses was significantly higher, often requiring us to manage multiple responsibilities simultaneously while still maintaining quality patient care. In contrast, other industry peers tend to distribute responsibilities more evenly, allowing staff to focus more directly on patient needs. Additionally, compensation did not always reflect the level of responsibility and workload required.

Pros

Management supports a work-life balance, hours are flexible, okay benefits. Good training opportunities and there is effort by management to support a good work culture. 6 weeks at 80% of pay Paternity/Maternity & Adoption leave. 401K with 6% matching. For 2 adults, we pay for Davita's Anthem BCBS healthcare plan and it is $350/month (4,700 deductible).

Cons

Payscale isn't aggressive - 1% raise each year. You also may be asked to cover other clinics temporarily without fair compensation for the extra workload.
