Cons

They will work you to death they give you state ratio every time you come to work the Pyxis is empty of insulin the blood pressure machines are broken with missing wheels the beds still have dried blood on it from previous patients Covid patients never wear a mask and cough in your face doctors have God like complexes but are scared to asssess a Covid patient and will copy a nurses assessment in to their note . The transporters are rude never want to help transfer the patient they have a shortage of lift equipment there are I repeat NO CNas so your patients drop on the floor and you get blamed the nurses are cranky and don’t work toghether managers are clueless and don’t help staff . Passive aggressive charge rns that make you want to suicide yourself. Work injuries are discredited by workers comp doctors they put false information on your chart to hurt your claim. You work with out breaks you are reprimanded if you stay late to chart they treat you like a Slave DO NOT WORK HERE DO NOT THEY TREAT NURSES LIKE CRAP ESPECIALLY ON dou and med surg units . The ceo and all the higher ups collect big checks yet want to scrap our union contract a absolutely disgusting my treeatment here as a nurse I will tell every one in the face of the earth the illegal activities that go on here . How they make you reuse n95 and wear dirty face shields Kaiser Permanente YOU Mistreat your staff!

Pros

Pay is in the top % for nurses however, you pay for it in the end.

Cons

Can't speak for the other states however, Georgia Kaiser Permanente is one of the worst places to work if you are Caucasian and/or believe in standing up for your rights. The moment you question authority you are blacklisted & it becomes only a matter of time before you are gone. The rules are different for every employee based on the color of your skin, who you know & how much ass you kiss. Poorly handled management track, you can literally move up 6 positions in a year if your skin is the right color or you kiss the right ass, doesn't matter how little experience or education you have. Once you have worked for KP no other respectable medical organization wants you so think twice before accepting a position.

Pros

High pay, easy job, excellent benefits and union. High emphasis on ergonomics so workspace is personalized and comfortable. Always available overtime also vto, which means voluntary time off translation: you can volunteer to home early if its slow. There is always food. Potlucks, orders in, someone's kid graduated left over cake....

Cons

Boredom. Very repetitive job because you have to stick to a script. Intensely close monitoring of everything. Everything. Don't log on 18 seconds late, don't miss a word in the script, and if your restroom reasons are going to take over 5 minutes, wait until you get home. The 5 minutes include travel time. Drama because there are cliques, couples, old highschool buddies, your babydaddy's other babymama and her sister all there together. No room for advancement or shift change. Ever. Everything is seniority based and most have been there since it opened. So if you're reading this to apply, good luck.
