Pros

Arguably the most well-known dialysis companies in the world. Massively established in the sector, job security is a certainty.

Cons

Long hours, mandatory overtime. If patients are delayed or have access issues, they still need their treatment and there's no relieving shift like a traditional hospital RN position. You wait, bill for the delay, and do your treatment. If you're scheduled for a 7a - 5p, and have a patient in the AM who has a four hour treatment, and another in the afternoon with a four hour treatment, you're already looking at 12 hours and that's not accounting for transport delays, imaging, IR, or any other procedures delaying your start time.

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.
