Pros

Expections are made known, training program is set up for new and experienced hirees, and good teamwork concept.

Cons

The training path is very clear for nurses and techs but not as clear for dietitians and social workers. Being evaluated based on the patients numbers is a lot of pressure but the new standard in health care.

Pros

Insurance and benefits. Patients are wonderful. Really enjoyed this part. Otherwise there was nothing I enjoyed about this job. Coworkers rude and disrespectful.

Cons

Training was very poor. Most techs did not want to take the time to help. RN's should be trained by RN's not techs. Never could get any answer from supervisors. Someone always passing the buck and saying you need to ask so and so. Poor pay. Overworked. Sometimes 16-18 hours a day. I thought the law was max 16 hours a day. Would not recommend unless you really need a job until you can find something else.

Pros

Great benefits. Tiered health insurance, tuition reimbusement, upfront RN tuition,401K matching. Tons of opportunty for advancement. Plus you have the benefit of working with a great team. It's also one of the few healthcare jobs with no nights, no Sundays and Chritmas, Thanksgiving and New Year's day off. The president of my region started out as a technician, which speaks to the fact that the potential for advancement is limitless. The new center for leadership is a great place to build confidence. The Ultracare program really puts the patient first. It is also a highly gender neutral company with many great men and women in upper levels of management.

Cons

Demanding physically. Dialysis patients have high mortality rates. You need to be OK with losses. Some think the salary isn't enough, but I think they offer the tools to increase your salary, but you have to earn them yourself: They'll pay for education, they'll match your retirement, they pay for weight watcher, but always the employee has to take the initiative. The company is it's people and this job is truly what you make it.
