Pros

Doing off sight fun things. Flex days, can make up doctors appointments.

Cons

Pay is horrible, they don't believe in paying you what you are worth. the CEO has his management so brainwashed they believe he deserves all the money and our pay should stay minimal so he can be one of the highest paid CEO's. His brain washing tactics work well on the weak minded. that's why his managers and supervisors treat anyone who has an opinion like they are the gestapo and make your work life miserable. You are over worked and under paid, their expectations are ridiculous. They strive on making your work life stressful and miserable. If you want vacation, forget it, they only let 2 people off at a time. Only a few select gets the days they want off. They only alow a select few work Saturdays or telecommute. Mainly managements favorites.

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

Patient connections is rewarding work, great hands on experience, paid on the job training, training for PCTs is at least consistent.

Cons

12+ hour long hours, emotionally and physically taxing, unqualified management, poor communication, inconsistent scheduling, high turn over, very little amount of opportunity for movement within the company despite preaching that they encourage it. The culture and values are heavily spoken about with little to no enforcement. The position requires significant dedication to learn all the moving parts of the clinic.
