Stability

Registered Nurse (Former Employee) - Louisiana - November 27, 2023

Great benefits and stability.Off on major holidays, with makeup day usually on a Sunday. I would recommend you have an authoritative approach because PCT’s will be working under your license. You see the same employees and patients every week. Remain professional.

Work Life Balance

Registered Nurse (Former Employee) - Atlanta, GA - November 27, 2023

Very busy and work life balance can be very challenging in this specific field of nursing. The pts are very non-compliant and pts miss their scheduled treatments regularly.

It’s okay

Dietitian (Current Employee) - Phoenix, AZ - November 27, 2023

Well supported by nutrition manager. But unhappy with frequent clinical manager turnover and lack of support from upper management. Our nurses are pretty lazy and do not want to do anything, which can make my role as an RD at times difficult.

drama

PCT (Patient Care Technician) (Former Employee) - Cadillac, MI - November 25, 2023

as a pct you can advance with a test and get a raise after so many hrs. if you want to advance further you have to have a degree. management is petty, can't stand up to the bad egg. targets the hard workers. hardest part is learning dialysis in the beginning and following that would be learning time management.

Pros

bonding with pts

Cons

management

Patient and coworker relationships are the only positive thing about this place

Patient Care Technician (Current Employee) - Greensboro - November 25, 2023

Horrible pay for the amount of work you’re doing. Understaffed but they won’t tell you this during your interview. Expect to work 4-5 days a week working 12 hours with as many patients as they can give you as soon as they can give them to you. Base pay is the same as McDonald’s or Walmart (go there instead of you want less work for same pay). Recruiting and interview process is very deceitful. Coworkers and the patients are the only positive part in all of this. You’re expected to be able to attend to two patients at one time. Patient schedules and appointment times range from 0-15 mins apart. Fresenius staff deserves better and should not be taken advantage of because of their love for helping others.

I thought because of the lack of accountability the work environment suffered

Dialysis RN (Former Employee) - Soldotna, AK - November 23, 2023

What is the best part of working at the company?None-it would have been a great career if the manager would have made employees accountable-too much anger and hostility What is the most stressful part about working at the company?Other employees -poor work environment-manager played favorites What is the work environment and culture like at the company?Same as stated before with last question What is a typical day like for you at the company?Chaotic-I just did not care for the workplace environment

Well organized and Professional

Patient Care Technician (Former Employee) - Thousand Oaks, CA - November 22, 2023

FMC, in my opinion is #1 in my list due to being a pioneer in the dialysis world. They own the machines and almost all the equipment to run a dialysis facility. They have set the bar at high standards in the level of patient care they provide for ESRD patients worldwide.

Fantastic

RN (Former Employee) - Saint Louis, MO - November 22, 2023

Organization is fantastic, hard work is rewarding. However, new RVP is sales and no operational knowledge. Previous leadership was amazing despite challenging circumstances.

Stressful and understaffed

Dialysis technician (Former Employee) - Milwaukee - November 21, 2023

Working with the patients is always fulfilling. However, the amount of employee call ins made working there terrible. There was a ridiculous patient to tech/nurse ratio. Drug tests should have been required randomly as an employee because it was just not safe working alongside some of the employees there. Management would do the bare minimum to resolve any issues and expect techs to manage multiple 4 patient pods. Good place to get your foot into the medical field(paid training) but not somewhere you would stay long-term.

some good and some bad

Registered Nurse (Former Employee) - Mississippi - November 21, 2023

really no comments at this time. Outpatient is definitely way better than Inpatient care. Working 18-20 hr days inpatient and having to call until 6am is dangerous for both the nurse and potentially the patients

Going through some big changes

Engineer (Former Employee) - New York, NY - November 17, 2023

Stay away from this company for a while - a ton of people lost their jobs due to restructuring. It has great benefits but it's a bloodbath and they're only bringing on temps in my dept

No staff, horrible management

PCT (Former Employee) - Export, PA - November 16, 2023

Management and higher ups will lie right to your face and they do not care about you. Always short staffed. Definitely not paid nearly enough for everything I hat you’re required to do.

Great job

Biomedical Technician (Current Employee) - O'Fallon, IL - November 15, 2023

I enjoy my job. You have to be ready to work and handle different surprises that can occur. Also handle being on call for a week. You are responsible for more than just fixing equipment, you also handle scheduling vendors and supplies for the clinics. Some biomeds are responsible for two clinics so be conscious of that. There is a lot of responsibility and sometimes you will be slammed. You must have time management and be able to multitask and be levelheaded when working this position.

Nice

Billing Specialist (Former Employee) - Metairie, LA - November 14, 2023

Nice coworkers. The best thing about the entire place is the coworkers. The building has a very bad parking situation in a high traffic area. No free parking.

Direct Supervisor Caused Many Resignations

MSW II LCSW (Former Employee) - Fort Worth, TX - November 14, 2023

A typical day at work involves navigating many financial bureaucratic hurdles on behalf of patients while providing education and emotional support to those patients and their caregivers. Multiple assessments, formulating a care plan, and the execution of such with timely documentation is the daily bump and grind that will result in positive outcomes for the patient and the company. You can become really good at this job, know it like the back of your hand and still be challenged and inspired by new situations enough to grow beyond what you thought possible. If you unintentionally intimidate your manager through dedication and top performance the company will likely not be there for you. That was the hardest part of the job. Not being valued enough to be supported through what turned out to be a bad hiring decision on the then director’s part which resulted in a lot of staff quitting. Instead of pivoting management and HR buries their heads in the sand. Therefore, the workplace culture at FKC depends entirely on your clinic manager. You will be completely at their mercy, and if you don’t like it you can walk. I had 6 managers in as many years and two of them were good, the others were not and the company does nothing to help the employees until there are many resignations, but by then it is too late. If FKC could deal with this continual problem people would work there until retirement in many cases, though the pay is substandard for the industry and the level of responsibility. I myself towards the last two years was working far outside of my pay grade every day while doing -
