Kaiser Permanente reviews

People that have been here for a long time always feel entitled... like if Kaiser owes them something. They take advantage of the new employees and they get lazier every year. Same people always show up late for work and they never get talked to. If you are new, expect to work all holidays because the people that have been there for a while will complain and throw you under the bus. If you want to be trained for a new skill... guess what? You'll be waiting forever because like I said, the employees that have been here want it all. They get to choose their vacation first. If you need to take vacation one day and a senior employee wants that day, even if you put your request first, the senior employee will get it. I hate that system, it creates inequality, breeds pure laziness and makes employees feel entitled. I"ve been an employee for almost 2 years and have worked every single Holiday all the while the same people get their little 3 day weekend.. this angers me.

everything is a "cluster permanente"- a massive committee-designed cluster where good ideas are squashed by petty battles over power, and genuine innovation or new ideas are ground down by jealousy, bitterness and turf-based power struggles over tiny little imaginary power units. Their biggest problem is culture, and it will take nothing short of a revolution of management to get rid of the entrenched bloated risk-averse culture. lots of "not my job" political infighting that gets in the way of innovation people who question the process are literally laid off all the smart people are leaving the trash fire, leaving only those who are unable to get jobs elsewhere, or who are only able to toe the party line. "affordability"? yet have to cut 7 million out of brand communications, choosing to leave no african americans in the department, slashing people near retirement, not reviewing relevant individuals' experience prior to their KP time. thank god I'm gone.
