      Upper management is really investing in mid and lower management as well as clinic level staff. Lots of room for advancement for those who want to be excellent at what they do!

      Cons

      Dialysis is very fulfilling, but it is hard work. It either grabs you, or it's not your thing.

      Pros

      They exceed expectations in Dialysis Care

      Cons

      Very stressful job. Feel like patient relationships are strained due to expectations it takes away from one on one with the patient. Very under paid for my experience and work ethic.

      Advice to Management

      Staff need more incentives and better pay for what we do as employees I don't feel appreciated or respected.

      Pros

      If you have a good clinic manager the position can be very rewarding and independent for social worker

      Cons

      There isn't any chance to advance as a social worker. Focus is to quantify your skills and abilities, and not quality patient care.

      Advice to Management

      See your social workers as the inspirations they are; and utilize their Masters' prepared skills in the clinics, not for things like transportation.
