The Walmart of Healthcare - Facility Administrator DaVita Employee Review

Although the dialysis facilities make all the money, these facilities are constantly under the microscope financially, while the corporate side is bloated with way too many Directors who create work for the Facility Administrators (FA) in order to justify their jobs. The FAs are constantly under pressure to squeeze more work out of their staff, while paying non-competitive salaries. This leads to a constant revolving door with nurses and techniques leaving for better paying jobs and the rest of the staff has to pick up the slack for months at a time as it takes 10 weeks to train a tech and 16 to train a nurse. There is very little work/life balance as the facilities are either understaffed or helping other facilities with staffing issues. Everyone is constantly being asked to stretch, while leadership decides to hold facilities to stricter staffing/patient ratios during a pandemic and a chronic staffing issue.
