Kaiser Permanente Employer Reviews

Overall a great place to work and be a client. The people I worked with and the patients were all amazing. Loved getting the blessing of having majority of my clinical rotation at various Kaisers.

worked at kaiser only as a temp agent, but great place, alot of nice people

I enjoyed my time in the General Surgery Department they treated me as if i was an paid employee and were confident that they trained me well enough to be alone in assisting the doctors with porcedures

My position was to manage the Anatomic Pathology department, including: Histology, Gross Dissection, Immunohistochemistry, Special Stains, Pathology Administration, Intraoperative Consults, Non-GYN and Quality Control. I also served at back-up to grossing, histotechnology and lab assistants. The Histotech/IHC/Lab Assistant team is a gold-standard, highly – more... functioning team which requires little to no supervision so they made my job easier. In the last two years I concentrated on adding 5 state-of-the-art remote pathology labs and enhancing the Immunohistochemistry area to include over 100 antibodies (ER/PR/Her2neu added in 2013). The most enjoyable part of the job was the interaction with patient's and assisting other departments with surgical pathology training. – less

Great place to work and grow professionally and personally.

The medical assistants, nurses, and doctors were very helpful in teaching me how to work around the office. They answered all my questions and guided me throughout my externship.

the best part of the job is helping your friends help others...

great place to work - very friendly work environment. Management is well chosen for the most part as well as each employee.

I love working as an Sonographer which is part of my passion of my life. Working in this career, make me feel that I am able to diagnostic people with music since I am musician too. I have opportunity to working as a team work with my coworker and sharing my experience with them. I followed the history of each patient with other radiologists for learning – more... purposes. I brought up each interesting case to my coworker in any criteria to make our team more knowledgeable.
I put myself in patient's shoe and always considered how I need to treat each patient differently depending on their unique situation. I studied each patient’s history, background and made a note for each patient the day before their appointment. Then when I meet each of my patients, Ihave a deeper understanding of their illness and can show them I really care for them. – less

Had this job to long ago to review. Good healthcare system, although they operate on the west coast now.

A typical day @ work starts with entering patient information in to a computer data base, verification of insurance coverage. Preparing and posting transactions on a day sheet, collecting and coping insurance benefit cards. Collecting patient payments/copayments and performing collection activities.

Like anything, Kaiser has its weak links and until a change in management, I thought that Kaiser would be the company I retired from one day. Being a union member has its benefits and draw backs but at the end of the day, remember that NOBODY is going to advocate for you as well or as passionately as you would for yourself. If something doesn't seem – more... right, if you feel that you can't trust those in positions of power, always go with your gut instinct. I'm a firm believer that poor management can make or break a company, a location or a department. My hiring manager was amazing and under her direction we had an amazing work environment with great morale. The majority of us interacted socially because there were no dividing lines during our work hours. When our manager was promoted and the ADA took over she was ill prepared for a position in management and the difference was immediately noticable. It felt as if the very foundation was crumbling away a little at a time until the structure of our team was unsupported and collapsed. – less

Office correspondence, reports, maintaining files and credentialing.

I was not only able to learn and grow in my externship I became confident in what I did.

Fulfilling and challenging
•
• Tenacity and high personal performance standards
• Proficient multi-tasking skills

I really loved interning at Kaiser. I felt apart of the team. I always felt like there was something to do and that nurses were used in many areas.

A typical day is managing the project budget, meetings, team hours, milestones and deadlines.

I have worked for couple of months at kaiser and it has been a good environment to work at.

Loved working for Kaiser! Gained education and experience in the operations of managed care. Supportive management staff.

Loved my co-workers and Provider staff.

7 a.m. report to charge lookup scheduled surgeon for first case
pull gloves for the staff document temperature and humidity
check both OR suites from corner to corner glass cabinets with supplies must be @par levels required to run the OR smoothly
When surgery is not going on I stock the rooms check unit for supplies that may need to be ordered assist – more... nurses with opening of sterile tables for deliveries prepare the room with equipment needed for each delivery the hardest part of the job is that I am a surgical tech with knowlege to work in other services besides OB but i am not able to offer those skills in Labor and Delivery
The most enjoyable part of the job is working closely with an excellent team of physicians who are managing not only a mother
but also a newborn. – less
