Pros

DaVita is actively trying to become the biggest health care group in the world. They do invest millions in this vision. There is job stability in this mission. DaVita stock is exceptional, however, the company makes you buy the shares with your own money at no special rate or match.

Cons

DaVita keeps nurses with masters degrees at entry level positions and has people managing with no degrees at all. DaVita sees that intelligent nurses retain more patients (patients live longer and stay at the facility). DaVita does not promote from within. They hire a lot of upper and middle management with no health care experience, which is dangerous, especially when they're trained to only care about profits. DaVita 'cheaps out' when it really matters to the patients and staff. This company is growing too fast and is inflated with unqualified middle and upper management. They will continue to do well, but at some point law-suits from dangerous practices with catch up with the company.

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.
