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

      Great people and an awesome management staff. Lots of good interaction between "upper" levels and staff. This is a company that is invested in its people. From popcorn machines on the floor to catered meals on overtime days, this company looks after it's people.

      Cons

      Training is a bit hit or miss, but they are working to correct the problems in the individual areas as opportunities arise.

      Advice to Management

      Stay the course. Continue to invest is training opportunities for staff. Hiring from within promotes opportunities for other to advance with the company and keeps valuable skills available for use.

      Pros

      Clinics function like small communities and there is a strong emphasis on working together as a team. I have felt very supported by my peers and immediate supervisors. Moreover, working in dialysis provides the opportunity to build long-standing therapeutic relationships with our clients.

      The work-life balance of a facility social worker is excellent! Social Work services are provided during regular business hours, with no evening, weekend or on-call shifts. The PTO policy is also extremely generous.

      Fresenius's benefits package is comprehensive and includes insurance coverage, 401k, clinical supervision towards LCSW, annual reimbursement for continuing education and more.

      Cons

      I think Fresenius needs to do more to promote the value of Social Workers within the company. Second to physicians, Social Workers are typically the clinical staff member with the highest degree. Unfortunately, there are very few opportunities for Social Workers to obtain promotions, as most managerial or specialized roles are designated for nurses. This creates a problem where seasoned social workers are underpaid and have supervisors who may not understand the nature of social work or how to utilize social workers to their fullest potential.

      Advice to Management

      Create more opportunities for Social Workers to be utilized at different levels of the company, or offer incentives for seasoned facility social workers, such as creating an MSW III position. Analyze compensation rates in similar medical or insurance-based Social Work positions in order to remain competitive.
