Pros

Guarantee hours. Medical benefits. Depending on your HSA, Flexibility in work schedule

Cons

You never know when you will be going home. Mandatory overtime. Three 13-18 hour day shifts and One 12 hr overnight shift, each week! You are scheduled for 12 plus hours but your pay is of an 8hr employee. Meaning, you get base pay for 8 hrs, then time and a half for the next 4. So your 4th shift (the overnight shift) is regular pay. Shifts start times change. If you start at 7am, but didn't get off work until 1130pm, you cant start your next day shift until after 0930. Your shifts get later and later.

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.
