Pros
Field teammates are undeniably dedicated to the care and support of patients and the heart of the company (although I wouldn't choose DaVita based on how overworked and underpaid they are).
Cons
DaVita is driven and wholly focused on the dirty secret that "private pay" patients (individuals with employer insurance) is the only, unwavering, objective to maintain revenue and drive growth. Despite the medical necessity, almost every program is designed to attract and acquire these patients to secure billable income that is far greater than government payments. Because of this avarice, the work environment is imbued with unprecedented chaos resulting in daily "fires" to satisfy the whims of leadership. Regulatory compliance is perceived as an obstacle and much effort goes into circumventing Compliance or hiding potential violations. "DaVita Culture" is nothing more than a brainwashing tactic to convince teammates that the rationale for long work hours, stressful and demanding conditions, and often rude and pompous interactions is to deliver outstanding care to patients. It's a ruse to shroud the blatant fact that DaVita is no different than any other company that the employees and their value will always be sacrificed in favor of higher revenue. Similar to living under a repressive and autocratic regime, dissent from this artificial culture is not only frowned upon, but managers will make a case against you to force you out. If you are an individual with your own opinion, thoughts, work ethic and expectations on how you should be treated, DaVita is not for you. If you desire an escape from reality, saccharine core values, and a cliquey, over-educated adult high school, then you'll fit in. Just know you'll be forced to give up nights and weekends (contrary to the work-life balance that he publicized), you'll receive unending, unsubstantiated criticism, and realize that your "trusted" teammates who work side-by-side you are the first ones to throw you under the bus to discredit you and advance their own reputation. In addition, as stated many times in previous reviews, the pay is subpar for the amount of work, regardless of experience, benefits are disappointing (so-so healthcare, teammates are never made aware that standard holidays are NOT given days off, but part of your PTO package (deduct 7 days from what you believe to be all your hours to use at your discretion). Think long and hard, read reviews and ask around before accepting a position with this company.
