Pros

This company really believes in investing in it's "teammates". The company itself truly believes in it's core values which is difficult to find in corporate America these days. As in any large corporation (DaVita is a Fortune 200 company), it is up to the leadership at the facility level to really create an environment where the team also feels those core values at play. Professional development is taken very seriously, and there are so many training curriculums and growth opportunities to help equip teammates at every level to do their job well and create opportunity for advancement--most of which include traveling which is a plus for many people (myself included) I've made really good professional connections at several trainings I have attended, many that have turned into friendships that I believe will follow me.

Cons

The company considers itself the gold standard of the dialysis industry. With that said, there are challenges for any role. There are metrics to meet and policies to adhere to. This may be a con to some people who are just looking to collect a check. In my opinion, being challenged is a positive, especially when the company does try to provide you with the tools and resources to be successful.

Pros

Stable company to work for with great benefits. DaVita offers tuition reimbursement, so it pays to go back to school and get a degree. They also help with career advancement and development.

Cons

If you are new to dialysis, it may take a while to reach a decent wage. You are required to work 12 hour shifts, mostly on your feet, and managers will always look to add to your workload.

Pros

The mission to improve patient outcomes is admirable and the clinical teams on the ground are deeply committed to delivering compassionate care. Front line staff demonstrate resilience and a genuine desire to support patients despite operational constraints. The organization offers access to scalable resources and structured processes that, in theory, should create a consistent care environment.

Cons

Leadership engagement is inconsistent, reactive, and often disconnected from the realities of facility operations. Training is insufficient, misaligned, and delivered without a coherent framework, creating avoidable performance gaps for new leaders. Decision making relies too heavily on blame shifting rather than root cause analysis, which erodes trust and psychological safety. Expectations are high, yet the support structure is minimal, generating an unsustainable workload that drives burnout rather than performance. Communication from management is siloed, ambiguous, and frequently delivered without actionable context, leaving teams to navigate complex issues without clear guidance. Strategic priorities change rapidly with little cross functional alignment, creating operational instability and confusion at the clinic level.
