Productive work in the Laboratory
Laboratory Assistant (Former Employee), Tucker, GA –
Typical day at work would be performing 100-125 venipunctures on adults and children. I worked with this company for over 13 years and basically knew everyone. Had a great supervisor and good co-workers. The hardest part of my job was getting a patient that had bad veins, but after performing the venipuncture and gaining that patient trust,this would – more...  have to be the most enjoyable time I've ever experienced at work. – less

Kaiser is a great place to work. I have learned a lot during my years there. I was valued as an employee and as a person. I have had bad days and good days just like I would in any other company, but I would definitely consider coming back to work for Kaiser. The company culture is very strong, management is very well organized, and performance expectations – more...  are clearly set. – less

Reconciliation Support Analyst (Former Employee), Pasadena, CA –
Pros: very professional, celebrates holidays, time off allowance.
KP provide a one-stop-shop health service and takes care of their member right.
I have learned, all the hard work done is to help KP member get personalized health care treatment, no matter who you are.
Co-workers mostly have a family, so that reflects on the day-to-day work ethic, that makes you feel a part of the KP family.

heavy on regulations
charge nurse (Former Employee), atlanta ga –
pay is good, however too concerned about policies so qualified nursing is a second thought. Always felt "big brother' is watching. Required probation skills over rated and takes precedence over skills of employee. Lazy employees.
