Kaiser Permanente reviews

Beware when interviewing here. Job is not what was described in the description or during the interview. If you enjoy owning your space, being accountable and independent, don't take a job here, you will be frustrated very quickly. Culture is very oppressive. Management seems micro-managing and condescending as a whole. They hire smart people with great experience in the field they need and then want them to stop using their experience and simply do that they are told. A very sit down, shut up, and do what you are told culture.

I had the worst experience working at this Kaiser location, Step Down 6West. If you are new employee they will give you the heaviest patients. If you try to complain they don't care. There was a charge nurse that thought she owned the unit. Unprofessional, rude, ignorant probably went to school in her home country, no manners whatsoever. I never experienced anything like that since I became a nurse, never had any problems at any jobs. That unit was a horrible place to work. No break room and we all know that 30 minutes lunch is not enough to go to the cafeteria which was at least 5 mins to get there. The manager of the unit is useless. I tried to let her know about the situation but she did not take a few minutes to discuss. They treat you as if you are not human. Kaiser Thrives...that's a joke. I worked there a short time and quit. I was getting sick, dehydrated. If they relieve you for a break or lunch don't expect them to cover your medication or do anything for your patients. I've had a full time job at another hospital for many years and tried Kaiser because it was close to my house but it was a huge mistake. I am happy at my job, love to work here, get paid more and will continue to drive. Since I was hired at Kaiser I was promised the union hourly pay increase but never happened. Kaiser was horrible. Would never recommend it to anyone.
