Pros

Corporate is team driven. Lots of training available.

Cons

Team driven attitude does not trickle down to individual clinics. Unable to keep nurse's due to poor pay. Unable to attend training due to short staffing. On call 24/7 365 days a year in this role. I worked 60 hours a week and it still wasn't enough to get this job done. Corporate and my immediate boss both acknowledged the work is more than one person can accomplish. The expectation is that work comes first, not family. Documenting reports is required is numerous locations....double and sometimes triple work because someone from corporate or regional offices wants the information in a specific location. Turnover for FA's is very high.

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

Patient connections is rewarding work, great hands on experience, paid on the job training, training for PCTs is at least consistent.

Cons

12+ hour long hours, emotionally and physically taxing, unqualified management, poor communication, inconsistent scheduling, high turn over, very little amount of opportunity for movement within the company despite preaching that they encourage it. The culture and values are heavily spoken about with little to no enforcement. The position requires significant dedication to learn all the moving parts of the clinic.
