Pros

I can't find one good thing to say about this company.

Cons

Second day on job: boss fired. No direction, no goals, just "run with it." VP was an egotistical blowhard who expected you to read her mind. In the meeting to tell us she fired our boss, she told us about her new dating life. Really?? The interview process took over 3 months, they didn't know what they wanted and I was told I would have to relocate to a city I had no desire to live in. Smoke and mirrors, bait and switch and a lot of smiling back stabbing people. I was told to drink the koolaid. They also EXPECT (force) you to volunteer for a lot of charities - no problem but I would like to have a say in who I volunteer for and when. There is no work/life balance. Worst of all they are completely out of touch on salary. Can you spell cheap? My advice is run unless you are desperate.

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

Management supports a work-life balance, hours are flexible, okay benefits. Good training opportunities and there is effort by management to support a good work culture. 6 weeks at 80% of pay Paternity/Maternity & Adoption leave. 401K with 6% matching. For 2 adults, we pay for Davita's Anthem BCBS healthcare plan and it is $350/month (4,700 deductible).

Cons

Payscale isn't aggressive - 1% raise each year. You also may be asked to cover other clinics temporarily without fair compensation for the extra workload.
