Pros

DaVita is a great company with a great culture.

Cons

The great culture only partially permeates down to the Labs. The HR / PS department is a group of people that basically decide your fate. If you are part of their click, then you're good, but if you're not, your out. They influence senior leadership to seal your fate and you get "Managed Out". That's right, with them it's a popularity contest and if you don't make the cut, you're dog food. What's more interesting is that the department is basically unnecessary, HR has been centralized and having several HR / PS people in the Labs is just paying salary for nothing. They do some employee development training... well, the Labs have a training department that can handle that no problem.

Pros

Stable company to work for with great benefits. DaVita offers tuition reimbursement, so it pays to go back to school and get a degree. They also help with career advancement and development.

Cons

If you are new to dialysis, it may take a while to reach a decent wage. You are required to work 12 hour shifts, mostly on your feet, and managers will always look to add to your workload.

Pros

Depending on location and your clinic, leadership team is incredibly supportive, which keeps the day-to-day work environment relatively stress-free. Having the independence to manage your own scheduling also allows for an excellent work-life balance.

Cons

The initial onboarding and training programs are highly disorganized and lack substance. Additionally, standard pay raises are quite low and do not feel competitive relative to the workload and current market value.
