It would be a fun place to work at if the was appreciation of the staff and support from management
Registered Nurse (Former Employee) - Johannesburg, Gauteng - 22 May 2021
No honesy and a lot of backstabbing amongst the employees.There are employees who feel that they are more entitled than others. Employees are not fairly promoted, its a survival of the fittest kind of environment.Employees had to use other employees’s heads to climb the ladder.Non qualified candidates are occupying top positions because of their race,those candidates end up running the company (Fresenius) as if its their backyard spaza shops.
Pros
14th cheque
Cons
Long hours, no appreciation

Shockingly bad
Administrative Assistant (Current Employee) - South Africa - 2 May 2020
The company is good with promises however terrible at delivering. Not only do they keep temps for years (without fair compensation and benefits). Permanent employees also hate working for them. Overloaded and underpaid. Considering their international appeal its shocking to say the least.

Innovative and challenging.
Digital marketing intern (Former Employee) - Midrand, Gauteng - 6 March 2020
Good position for someone with no work experience as it includes a lot of things to be approved by management, waiting for full approval is the most irritating part of the job. overall a good company but not much room for growth in the digital space.

Fresenius Medical Care is a great company. The only problem at Fresenius Medical Care is Leadership/Management style used by most senior managers
Clinical Technologist (Renal) (Current Employee) - Morningside, Gauteng - 26 January 2020
Fresenius Medical Care is a great company. The only problem at Fresenius Medical Care is Leadership/Management style used by most senior managers. Otherwise, a great company with great potential to be world class
Pros
Multinational Company with Great Innovations
Cons
Bad Leadership

Early morning shift or late night shift. Learning opportunities are endless because of the nature of the work. Management of renal treatment is vital.
Registered Nurse in Renal Unit (Current Employee) - Athlone, Western Cape - 15 September 2019
Workplace culture can be toxic at times due to high levels of sexism, racism and territorialism of female nurses towards their male colleagues in workplace environment. Otherwise good, most of time.
Pros
Excellent learning opportunities.
Cons
Long hours work. Shift work.

The management team makes it hard for emplees to love their job. They don't appreciate their employees.certain subordinates use intimidation
Clinical technologist (Former Employee) - Pretoria, Gauteng - 5 June 2019
If only the management could stop treating employees like they are trash, like they did them a favour and stop intimidating.
Students are exploited and their futures are threatened when they try to oppose. For students this company is a trap
Pros
None
Cons
Long hours and safety

it was very intestring experience nd i learnt a lot
CONDUCTOR (Current Employee) - kwazulu natal - 17 October 2016
at work is was quite enjoyable because there was no superior and inferior at work we were treated equally by our manager up to the stuff. it was to hard to be in the middle between the permanent employees and the management when there is a certain conflict between them. i learned that u must not take sides at work in order to survive you must learn to work with anyone in order to survive long enough. working hard its the part i liked the most because i told myself that nothing come easy
Pros
tea time
Cons
long hours

I admitted more patients and did more acute connections than any staff at Tshepo-Themba.
Registered Nurse (Former Employee) - Johannesburg, Gauteng - 14 September 2016
I enjoyed my stay there and was laughing all day.I learned to be open and to have tolerance in staff and patients.Management was okay though i did not like management style at times.Co-workers were excellent.Hardest part of job is when having a new patient and patient complicate and not sure whether to send patient home or to casualty for admission.Admitting more patients and making jokes with patients.
Pros
Performance bonus
Cons
Shortage of staff

it can be better
Administrator (Former Employee) - Port Elizabeth, EC - 5 July 2013
day starts at 8, very busy till i leave.
i work well with the people in my team and enjoy when everyone is included in talks etc.
my co-workers are young and vibrant.
will rather not get into the topic of management.
the hardest part of my job is dealing with a supervisor that doesnt understand me or have much supervisoral skills/people skills.
