Pros

Perfect stepping stone to get your foot in the healthcare field. That being said - they will literally hire ANYBODY..

Cons

Compared to other dialysis providers, I found that DaVita operated in a more corporate-driven environment, with a stronger focus on operational metrics than on patient-centered care. The workload for technicians and nurses was significantly higher, often requiring us to manage multiple responsibilities simultaneously while still maintaining quality patient care. In contrast, other industry peers tend to distribute responsibilities more evenly, allowing staff to focus more directly on patient needs. Additionally, compensation did not always reflect the level of responsibility and workload required.

Pros

The local team was great. The FA was the best. She knows how to lead and to build a team. Helping the patients and their families was the best part. Knowing you were helping them improve their quality of life was very rewarding.

Cons

Upper management. All the executives care about is money. All management above the FA level was terrible. Always cutting your hours even though you were full time. People in charge that have absolutely no experience in healthcare. Management and executives who don't understand medicine and how healthcare works or should be. They bully, don't support, and try to find things to get you in trouble. They want the nurses to only use AI instead of thinking and doing what is best for the patients. When I started with DaVita, it was a great place to work. Since the business people took over at the top, it has gone downhill and is simply awful. I do not recommend working here.
