DaVita Employer Reviews

A typical day at DaVita starts about 4:30 a.m. MY team was awesome! Everyone was very knowledgeable and fun! The vibe was good. There are times it get fast-paced and busy, but it makes time fly by!

A typical day for me would be fast paced and exciting I love to learn all types of things. Im interested in growing with a company and becoming an RN. I love my coworkers they make my day go by really fast and make any day quite interesting. There isn't anything I can think of that would be considered as the hardest part of my day because I love what – more... I do. The most enjoyable part of my day would be interacting with patients. – less

I truly believe in this company's values and how it treats its employees, in general. However, I was hired on a team that lacked management for 2 mos. So it was a big disorganized and still in transition at the moment.

I leared about how medicare reimburses for our dialysis rates; rules and regulations and prioritization due to several deadlines to – more... meet during the month.

Co-worker who have been there are quite knowledgable of the whole process.

We work with HIGH volume. Sometimes, it doesn't seem like we are making a dent as a team.

The company seems to spend a lot of funds on team building, functions, and other outside-work events. – less

I was given the opportunity to work independently and gained invaluable knowledge with all aspects of the business.

Fortune 500 Company great company to work for. Family oriented company

A typical day at work starts out very early for me, about three am. I am the charge nurse, so I gather report from the staff charge nurse, decide patient acutiy and asign quilified staff. At the end of the day, I make sure all documentation is correct and in order, and report to my boss. I learned how to better solve conflict in the work place between – more... co-workers. The hardest part of my job is the drive, I drive an hour one way on a good day. The most enjoyable part of my job is touching anothers life with my care and knowledge. – less

Arrogant , uneducated staff with poor people skills. Techs, nurses, management the most unprofessional people I have ever met. More concerned about their social life than quality patient care. Management encouraged staff to not follow company policy if they were uncomfortable with it or thought it "cost too much to do it that way" Expect you to give – more... lots of uncompensated hours to complete mandatory education. Promise you the world for hours and deliver far less and expect you to accept that as OK. If you try to do things the right way or mention that doctor orders are not being followed, you become the outcast and are "too picky". – less

Great place to work. Good people, good values. Fast work-paced environment. Patients are great, standard policy and procedure. Easy to follow guidelines.

People are fun to work with but the days are very long. The hardest part of the job is starting at 4:45. The pt's are wonderful.

It was a pleasure to complete my 180 externship hours at DaVita. It's an all around pleasant place to be. The staff members are friendly, easy-going and great with the patients. The patients always talk about how much they enjoy being at DaVita and it makes you feel really great about what you're doing every day.

My typical work day consisted of answering – more... the telephones and transferring calls as needed, as well as checking in and greeting patients and visitors. I also served as an Administrative Assistant to the Facility Adminstrator, so I was responsible for filing, faxing, returning phone calls, and doing data entry for her.

The most enjoyable part of this job is the overwhelming sense of family that comes with being a part of a team. The patients and staff all care very much about each other and it's a company goal to make sure that every single day there is a fun one, which definitely makes for a great working enviroment and adds great quailty to the patients lives. – less

Start of my day starts at 5am. Davita has taught me how to manage my time well. My FA truly cares about our patients which is very important to me. The hardest part about my job is trying to get my patients to be complaint with their treatment and trying to get them to follow their diet. I love everything about dialysis! It's a pleasure to see the patient – more... incline in their care. I love hands on patient care! – less

professional workers, dependable equipment, friendly workers

Working for Davita is awesome, how ever I am seeking a trade job to aquire dual careers. I get all the hours that I need and I enjoy the bonuses. I really do love the hands on experience with patient interaction. In this job you can actually see the difference that you make.
I start my day there at %am and clock out at 1130pm on MWF. T/TH/Sat we work – more... from 5am to 6pm.
Time management is very crucial in this job.
I learned a great deal about dialysis. – less

Probably the best company i have ever worked for. Competitive salary, excellent management, company really cares about employees as well as patients.

My hours changed like the wind and I was expected to adjust my personal life to accommodate. FA and regional director were numbers oriented and turned a blind eye to unsafe practices and sub-par employees. Our clinic employees turned over 3 times in less than 2 years. Patients refused to call kidney council for fear of retaliation from DaVita employees – more... - and they were right to think that way. – less

Fun place to work, but to lenient on people not doing their job. Kind Management, often to kind and afraid to take charge and tell people what they need to do.

Long, long hours with little appreciation, and a constant push to do more .Employee's are treated like robots. Revolving door of employment due to unsatisfactory working conditions. Newly trained staff does not stay. The list goes on.
