      Pros

      Starting in 2020 the company will now offer PAID PARENTAL LEAVE!!! Any parent's know how hard that is to come by. You also earn almost 8 hours of PTO per pay period starting out. Easy to move up if you are a good employee, I have already been offered a higher position and I've been with the company for 1 year. I know others that have had SEVERAL promotions within the last few years.

      Cons

      Pay could be higher, but I came from a similar position that was paying less.

      The pay is good with small travel opportunities. Per diem and travel expenses paid quickly

      Cons

      There is a divide created between clinical and technical. Too many work functions. You serve as the : handyman, logistics, supply and biomedical. Responsible for multiple clinics.

      Advice to Management

      Training does not support comprehensive job duties. Job duties should be separated into the careers that they are. Should arrange 1:1 clinic to tech ratio.

      Disapproves of CEO

      I worked at Fresenius Medical Care - North America full-time for more than 8 years

      Pros

      Decent benefits, though they are etched away every year: copays go up, premiums go up, etc. I heard this year they added 4 weeks paid maternity leave. Im told Fresenius pays nurses a bit more than the large competitors like DCI and Davita. Good training program for those new to dialysis. Good educational materials for patients.

      Cons

      I learned to not trust HR. I had a great manager at first but then a new one came in and it just went downhill from there. I think most experiences will be dependent on this. The company is too large to really worry about those outside of your own clinic. The EMR is for billing purposes only, not to document patient care. Fresenius RX is a mess as they are disorganized, undependable.

      Advice to Management

      The company seems very top heavy. Plenty of money for research and development, corporate, etc but never enough to hire adequate amount of staff. Nurses and techs cannot take care of their patients properly and leave. Too much work is put on managers and they cannot tend to those below them that need them.
