Kaiser Permanente

I worked during the pandemic and it was very busy all day testing patients for COVID. We swabbed approximately 2000 patients daily. I was never afraid, all I wanted was to help educate our patients with the most up to date information. The nurses helped keep things a little light with their singing and dancing in the drive through tent. We made the best of a bad time.

I thoroughly enjoyed the 13 years I worked at Kaiser Permanente! I also believe that the Kaiser performs the best way to provide healthcare services. If Kaiser were still in Texas, I'd be happy and honored to work there.

I loved helping my patients and guiding them in the right direction, I learned and gain valuable experience

Kaiser does not care for it's workers. This was one of the WORST places I've ever worked at. The coworkers were burnt out and there was so much toxic energy between people. I've never worked at a place like this. Low morale, and if it wasn't for the toxic coworkers and poor leadership I would have stayed. High turnover rate, which made sense because no one wants to work with these toxic people. Management didn't care. Definitely not worth working for. Kaiser's reputation has gone down throughout the years, and now I understand why. If you have Kaiser....run!

The team of nurses are not so friendly, they create an hostile environment at times. It’s better to learn as much as possible on your own.

My experience under the previous supervisor was phenomenal the first year. Unfortunately, once she retired the supervisor who filled the position truly demonstrated favoritism and is not trustworthy and is only interested in getting recognition for oneself at all costs.

Went from staff RN to utilization review. Ability to grow within the organization great people to work with

I was discriminated and harassed daily, and was yelled at by the flu clinic nurse manager yelled at me until she was red on her face, yelled at me, I reported this nurse manager behavior nurse manager retaliated. The flue clinic administrator was discriminating me daily with orders given by her and then asked “why I did what I did.” And told to do something, but was not given access to get the job done. I was told by the nurse educator that, “we tend to treat you type of people differently.” I wasn’t going to take the job, but I was practically begged by the hiring HR staff. As he told me, “You can apply for a permanent position at the job fair, but later was told “no I will ignore her application. It won’t go through.”

Kaiser Permanente is a wonderful company to work for. Kaiser supports continued education and opportunities for personal growth. Kaiser Permanente is who they say, good people. Good medicine.

I found Kaiser a wonderful place to work. Education is encouraged, each entity of care is respected; working with the belief that we are better together. It was expressed and how employees treated one another and displayed in the care provided. Kaiser Permanente was a wonderful place to work.

I love working at Kaiser Permanente, it has allowed me to grow in my job and transfer to different departments. I especially love that they are Unionized

I worked here for over 20 years. It is a really great company. I would still be working there if I hadn't moved to Texas.

I worked here for 11 years, 1 as a contractor, 10 as a FTE. Unfortunately they don't have much use for a database system (the one I was a developer for) that works great, since they have to chase some corporate fad. I have been laid off (no fault according to HR) likely to save money on salaries.

I have convinced a patient to book an appointment which she refused and talk to a nurse which she did and all went well

I had a lot of support from coworkers and physicians when I lost my husband, they were like family. I had many patients that were very close and appreciated all the care that was given to them

I have worked for Kaiser on two separate occasions. The first occasion I had to leave voluntarily just because I wasn’t able to make the schedules work with everyone else in my family, so that was of no fault of KP but after I returned a year later it was under new management and management was poorly handled. The manager themselves was not helpful not accommodating, not doing their duties as a manager, and ended up resulting me quitting because even after I had reached out for help to the union and to HR I did not receive any and was forced to leave after a month because of how toxic and Unstructured it was for me to work there.

I worked for Kaiser for over 25 years. I started as respiratory therapist and ended my career as a clinic manager.

1st step to get into the EMR Healthcare world. Many opportunities and great place to work. Kaiser train their staff before placing employees in positions. The training, shadowing was exceptional.

It was great working there. I enjoyed every minute of it. did not have any worries there and the pay was great.

At first Kaiser was a great place to work. As time went on getting job position was who you know and not what you know.

I really enjoyed working and serving the public and helping them in all aspects of pharmacy. I began my career entry level and came out learning so much more that helped me through out my years of service.

Be careful who you trust. Play the insurance game properly. They don’t like successful dentists and will place roadblocks in your way. Low ceiling for growth. Encourages dentists to place alloy fillings and no encouragement for expanding one’s scope of practice. Old/outdated technology. No digital impressions, old facilities, poor/questionable leadership.

Kaiser is not about patient health it’s a just a money machine and they are great at it. They treat employees like your a robot and think employees don’t have a life outside of Kaiser.

I had a great experience working for Kaiser as a Data Analyst. I learned so much about being a team player. I’ve learned to be very detailed seeing every mistake and error that need to be spotted out.

I worked for Kaiser for 4 years and in the beginning the experience was great. They provided great assistance when needed however there was a lot of micromanagement. In my beginning of working there the team was very supportive but as time went by it became very challenging. The managers began to lack with any recognitions and support. The day to day task that had to be completed were challenging once the pandemic struck the world. There were many changes that happened and the team would expect us to grasp each change and master is right away. That was difficult being that everything was remote and very little training. Upon the arrival of the employees working from home, it seemed as if they began to not care about their employees and provided little to no support. The job became draining

It was a very rigorous job that leaders didn't want to replace retired staff or staffs leaving the organization.

If you don’t work in the call center it’s a great company. Pay is great benefits are even better but the call center as everyone knows it is the black sheep. It’s extremely hard to get out of management is the absolute worst. If they don’t like you they will do everything in their power to get rid of you. The union represents are worthless and you pay so much for their assistance. To become a manager in the call center you have be a union rep once you become a manager you forget where you started from. Even though they all say they will fight for you it’s not true. If you work in any other part of Kaiser even as cleaning crew known as EVS you have it made. I’m sorry if this is not what you expected as a review but I’m an honest person and have to tell you the truth.

I've worked at Kaiser in 3 different locations PACU/Infusion/Team RN. I have enjoyed working all departments and locations.

Trading was exhausting to much to intake in regards documentation, but once experienced the real environment was extremely smooth. Learned to take my time and verify numbers account, but most importantly I as a person realize that even over a phone we can help the elderly who are not into technology. Granted me with patience and understanding the needs of the other person on the line and fully explaining to the best of there understanding.

No support from union. People do not have to work or treat patients with compassion to earn a paycheck. you are rewarded with same small increase if any as someone who does not work or follow procedures.Very sad for healthcare.

During the pandemic as a security as I start my shift I will wipe all door knobs up and down the all way and that was noticed a lot with good feedback by employees. I was also brought up in the meetings about my work performance and got offer a job position to be a operator service ( viewing cameras and calling hospital codes over intercom) Kaiser is one of my favorite jobs I had. I’ve learned a lot

I began working at Kaiser 15 years ago and found that it's a great place to work. There is a respect for one another, from the administration, through the physicians, nurses, technicians, the support staff to the EVS (housekeeping) and security. Everyone works together smoothly which is seen by the patient and often commented about.

managed to maintenance printing devices up running in consistently. Network troubleshot, software implement., etc.

People got away with not following basic rules and Union did not support that. Management likes to keep you wondering and then slap you with untrue information and see how you react.

I worked in the educational theatre department and I did health and awareness for communities from Bakersfield to SanDiego and it was very rewarding.

Positive place to work, engaged employees, creative programs, very supportive of higher education. Many departments are flexible with work schedules.

I worked at Kaiser Permanente for 17 years and progressed through promotions. Strong healthcare and patient focus. Learned a lot from KP with regard to leadership, management and collaborative approach. Really enjoyed my time there.

Working for KP was a dream job. My late husband’s serious illness was my priority, unfortunately he passed away. He also work for KP at BPK IT senior. I loved my job, and all the rolls I attribute to the company. Will be a dream to get back in.

If Kaiser had not phased out Medical Assistants I would be there right now. I loved working there, the benefits were incredible. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to reconnect with them in. California.

Love the ambiance at Kaiser not just in Santa Clara, I’ve worked for Kaiser in San Leandro and in Manteca all 3 all great staff is wonderful

As someone that has worked in different departments, I was able to see different perspectives. I use to work at a clinic and enjoyed my interaction with the patients (most of them) and I had a great supervisor and a great manager. I transferred over to the call center and ended up in a department that is notorious for how horrible the supervisor is. The turnover rate for the department is extremely high, and as of writing this, they are 9 people short staffed, which does cause a lot of current workers more stress. We were given mandatory overtime at one point. The supervisor for this team is friends with her boss so any complaint that went about that supervisor never did much. After knowing that Kaiser Permanente continues to let this kind of stuff continue, it sort of gave me an impression about what their values really were. I had great coworkers (that all eventually slowly left) and I had really great benefits, but it wasn't worth the mistreatment and the mental distress.

When I worked in homehealth for kaiser was one of best experiences, I really enjoyed the group of people I worked with and my immediate supervisors at that time were the best

Hello I did my wonderful clinical with Keiser Permanente as soon as I finished my phlebotomist courses at Prince George community College. It was very motivated to work with the team. All people was so carrying with alot of patience. I did a great job with them with that was so helpful with good experience with my careers. I also a member of Keiser Permanente because of their good performance and carrying for their clients. Thanks.

Started as staff support (admin) and finished as a Project Manager after 19 years. Decided to work for Tesla as I needed a change of pace.

Cost driven organization. Very little physician autonomy, poor specialist accessibility. Physicians can only prescribe the cheapest medication for patients.

Started per diem, still worked full time. Promoted within a year. Most positions union based, so more secured than most companies. Recommend this job

I worked there for 10 years. I never had 1 good manager ever. The rn team leaders didn't even apply for jobs, just did whatever. Drama,gossip, back stabbing, toxic, it affected my health.

Kaiser provides exceptional benefits and opportunities for growth. This is a wonderful place expand your career.

I thoroughly enjoyed my job at Kaiser Permanente. Since the practice was self-insured, we did not have to deal with various insurance companies for pre-authorization to carry out dr's orders for procedures, tests, surgeries, etc. Dr's were free to order whatever was necessary to facilitate the care of our patients. It was my first job in office setting after having worked in hospitals for more than 20 years; and I was able to work in general practice such as internal med and pediatrics- as well as specialty such as GI, orthopedics, ophthalmology, allergy and asthma. The knowledge I gained by working for Kaiser was priceless! The company was very generous in pay, bonuses, Christmas gifts, annual employee Christmas dinner parties, and they also gave retirement income since I worked there for over 10 years.

This company has various options for shift work in a wide variety of occupations. Great environment to grow and with & option to transfer.
