Pros

The people on the floor are amazing, the patients are amazing. Very solid benefits. Very diverse staff, apart from management.

Cons

The pay is abysmal. They are not doing a great job maintaining a good workplace and compared to other centers, SITCAFF is not a main focus at the Central Mesa center. There is a reason they are being audited by the state. Career pathways are great if you want to stick with DaVita, but most of the staff want to jump ship due to being severely underpaid compared to other companies. Management is all white, and there is a strong culture and camaraderie disconnect between management and the people on the floor. A sense of entitlement and the are threatened by people who know their worth, who aren't commited to being DaVita lifers. There have been amazing people who have come in to the center that I have trained and that have shadowed me and they won't get hired because management sees them as a retention risk and it is too the point that we don't have enough bodies to function by company policy. For a company with a Latino CEO, there are a lot of racist white people in management who do not value quality diversity and inclusion.

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.
