      I have been working at Kaiser Permanente full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      Great place to work if you have a good manager. Work from home opportunities but depends on if manager allows it. Pay is good and benefits are amazing.

      Cons

      With any very large company comes slow change and unnecessary bureaucracy

      Advice to Management

      Having arbitrary guidelines for min years of service for positions can weed out good candidates. Sometimes quality of candidate is greater then their years of service.

    5. "Environmental services"

      StarStarStarStarStar
      Current Employee - Environmental Services in Newport Beach, CA

      I have been working at Kaiser Permanente full-time for less than a year

      Pros

      I've always had a wonderful experience at Kaiser from making appointments to making a trip to the urgent care with my kids. I feel like all the staff cares, and that means a lot when you're sick or when you're walking in with a sick child. They make sure they meat each individual needs and it would be a privilege to be part of a team that meats unique individuals needs

      Cons

      I think some of the cons for me would be conflicts with schedule

      I worked at Kaiser Permanente full-time for more than 5 years

      Pros

      Good benefits. Vanguard 401k.

      Cons

      DO NOT WORK FOR KFH! If you can, work for Medical Group! KFH culture is toxic and hostile. I worked my first 4 years in Medical Group and my last year was in KFH! Big mistake for me to change entities! My direct manager and her manager were both incompetent and inexperienced and should never have been promoted into their jobs. Heavy micromanaging. They demanded that I worked very long hours without even... providing the tools I needed to do my job and duties! Pay is about 20-25% lower than other companies.

      Advice to Management

      To Executives and Senior Leadership: 1. Fire incompetent managers and employees. This would greatly boost employee morale and address turnover issues. 2. Pay for ancillary or business operations staff is dismal and is not competitive with going market rates. If you want the best employees, make sure to offer competitive wages/salaries and not just better benefits. KP is taking away employee benefits but does... little or nothing to offset the loss in benefits.
