Pros

There is none that i can say was worth it

Cons

Pay was terrible. Paid new employees bonuses but not their long term employees. Did not help people who wanted to advance within the company. Therr is no encouragment at all. Their best speech is we are proud of every single one of you! Treated their employees like garbage. I can say walmart treats their employees better. Wait times are awful in urgent care. Leadership in lab department is a joke and incompetent. The best providers have left when the merge happened. They spend more money opening new sites and building more buildings that they cant even employee staff to run them. Absolute joke of a place. TEC made a bad choice allowing this merge. Oh and no bonuses or time off. However you are required to take time off or you lose all but 40 hours to roll over to next year.

Pros

Some benefits are good like health insurance.

Cons

Salary consistently lower than other companies. DaVita Medical group was bought out by Optum. The integration was poorly managed and the new organization leadership was not truthful and did nothing to join the teams. Eventually most of the DaVita Medical Group team was let go over a couple years time.
