Administrative Assistant at DaVita
in Denver, CO

What do you like about working at DaVita?

"These days the only thing that makes me happy is seeing my favorite patients."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Be sure this is the career you want, because once you're here, you're here forever."

What don't you like about working at DaVita?

"DaVita is all about numbers. Your hours are based on how many patients are at your clinic. Our clinic is getting slammed but we can't hire another nurse because the numbers say we're doing fine with our current staffing. Nurses spend between 43-50 hours a week working a 4-day work week. It's impossible to move within the company too. DaVita loves to hire from the outside so much that a lateral move is like pulling teeth. (I still haven't pulled this off.) Oh, and they don't match any of your 401K!"

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Stop all the micromanaging or just do the task yourself."

Administrative Assistant at Adecco

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"Not a positive experience. Adecco will not help you when you need it."

What do you like about working at Adecco?

"They will find you a job quickly, many jobs pay over minimum wage."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"I don't have faith that Adecco is telling the truth when they say 'If you don't like a job, we will find you something that is a better fit.' Know that these jobs are not going to be challenging."

What don't you like about working at Adecco?

"I consider myself to be a very dedicated and hard worker. I was between jobs and needed something fast. When I first got involved with Adecco, they made it seem like they would find me a job I would enjoy that utilized my skills. I was excited to start working when Adecco quickly called me to start a new assignment. It was temp-to-hire. The job description was 'Administrative Assistant', saying I would be doing office tasks such as copying, computer work, and other such tasks. I am very organized and like to stay busy, so this seemed like a good fit for me. Unfortunately I didn't start work for another THREE weeks after Adecco called me; they kept saying my background check needed to go through, which was ridiculous because I had just gotten my teaching certificate and surely had no violations on my record. This was frustrating because every time I called Adecco back, which was at least three times a week, no one would really give me a straight answer. So fast forward to when I actually started. The atmosphere at this work place was great; very laid back and easy going. But the job I was given was not at all what was advertised. It was simply busy work that involved doing the SAME TASK over and over and over again all day every day. That's just not something I'm comfortable with. I emailed Adecco shortly after starting and told them I wanted to try to find something that was a better fit for me, and it seemed like they didn't really care to help me. It was like they thought since they already placed me and I didn't like it, it was my problem. All of my email exchanges with Adecco were composed of short responses that really made me feel like I was being a bother. I'm trying very hard to get another job that isn't through a staffing agency, basically because I now realize they will try to get you a job doing ANYTHING that's needed, not something you would like."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I would suggest that Adecco employees try harder to really listen to what their temporary workers need; be more open and less judging."
