DaVita Reviews

Pros

I enjoyed working with many talented individuals within the accounting group.

Cons

Poor career advancement. Opportunities within the accounting group are very limited. DaVita does not do a 401K match.

Advice to Senior Management

Offer a 401K match to Teammates. Bonuses for rank & file employees is ridiculous - pretty much not existent.

Pros

Many opportunities for growth! Excellent training program

Cons

Transparency of upper management not adequate

Pros

Flexibility When needed in an office envionment
Good atmosphere to work at
Telecommuting when you need it is a plus

Cons

Benefits are horrible the really need to fix this.
No 401k match which is a downside
Not many holidays observed

Advice to Senior Management

Put a 401k match that would be a plus to attracting potential employees.I think an improvement on benefits would keep your employees .

Pros

Competitive pay...bonuses....co workere are pretty nice

Cons

No opportunity for advancement...unfair/bias promotions....poor management...huge turnover

Pros

I love my job, and the people I work with. Davita has a culture that truly puts patients and community first. It's commitment to excellence shows each and every day. If you wish to move up in the company you have the opportunites to do so, with hard work and dedication.

Cons

Pay is not comparable to other companies in our field, however the work enviorment makes it all worth it.

Advice to Senior Management

When teammates show intrest in advancing and taking on additional responibilities, take the time to assist them in doing so. Secondly remember what it was like to be one the lower rungs of the ladder.

Pros

DaVita has a large emphasis on training and personal/professional development. My supervisor consistently provides opportunities for me to grow and become a better teammate and professional. At the same time, the company is very good at having different training options both locally and nationally.

Cons

The compensation at DaVita is definitely lower then a comparable job at a different company. In addition, the benefits are not as great. Improving these aspects would make a job at DaVita much more desirable

Advice to Senior Management

One thing I would suggest to management is that while we have these training sessions and while I do find them useful, it would be great to cut back some of these activities and pass the savings on to the employees. I personally get more inspired by a larger paycheck than a 2-day Academy trip

Pros

Tuition Reimbursement is a very good benefit, if your in school.

Cons

Management is typically totally clueless about the clinical environment. They try to tell you how to do your job when they can barely do there job.

Advice to Senior Management

Don't say you're going to give a pay raise when you know you can't.

Pros

professional growth opportunities for field staff

Cons

lack of growth opportunities for corporate staff

Advice to Senior Management

It is important to celebrate success which is lacking with my team

Pros

DaVita has competitive pay and full benefits for both full-time and part-time employees. They have amazing mission and values that they live out daily. Working with DaVita, you have the ability to help our patients, our communities and our world through through many programs. Working with DaVita means you are working for the greatest dialysis community the world has ever seen. There are unending possibilities to move up in the company.

Cons

DaVita eats its young, so to speak; there is, a lot of times, not a set training program once you get into management and it gets very difficult, very fast. The money is occasionally better with our competitors (however if you take into consideration the extra benefits, DaVita comes out ahead, IMHO). The stress from trying to please your patients, your staff, your bosses, their bosses, the state, the federal government, and everyone in between makes this the most difficult job on the planet.

Pros

opportunity for growth, culture (depending on which department you work for), benefits, large company, diversity, team building and leadership classes are top priority

Cons

most of the new employees have a totally different perspective of what the company's mission and values are truly all about. it's sad that the pioneers of this company were set aside for the power hungry new mba grads.

Advice to Senior Management

just hoping that the company can go back to what the Village really stands for...village first, company second...your team can make or break you....
