Kaleida Health Reviews

Cons

Management was poor. No consistency in following policy and procedures.

Cons

Non union long term employees here today gone tomorrow. Too political, management to worried about making themselves look good to executive team and don't care about their employees. Employee's do not get enough credit.
Constantly changing, very little communication.

Cons

Employees never get the recognition that they deserve. You can catch something that literally saves a childs life and not even get a "good job" from your boss. Its ridiculous! As far as retirement....its awful apparently we are looking at 300 bucks a month and thats with no health care at all. So baically ill have spent my entire life taking care of sick people at Kaleida and Kaleida wont take care of us when we retire medically? Disgusting. Also the safe patient ratios change every day (no joke, it seriously is everyday) based on whats convenient for Kaleida. Someone calls in and you have to take 5 or 6 patients instead of the 4 that is the "safe ratio" they tell you to "suck it up"

Cons

The workload is very intense

Cons

Can be terminated very easily. Company does not reward loyal employees

Cons

Then they have people in positions who create these positions, fill them, and get rid of them the next year. They need to get their act together and have a concrete plan!

Cons

Very little appreciation shown towards emoloyees.

Cons

The communication could be better.

Cons

If you're a go getter who asks a lot of questions and wants to get things done, you'll hate it here! Where I worked upper management seemed afraid of smart, innovative people who wanted to be more efficient and cost effective. In the rare cases where feedback and opinions were asked for, while they'd often acknowledge a great idea you'd never be allowed to follow through on it. On a few occasions I did see where truly YEARS later changes were finally implemented but the person who's idea it was originally never got any credit or acknowledgement ...

Other than management that were too afraid of bright staff there were also LOTS of staff who were constantly playing the CYA game - this seemed to be ingrained for long tenured employees (15-20 yrs +) because my observation was that if they were good at their job it wasn't like someone else was eyeing it, yet many of the administrative staff acted as if everyone was after their job. Where I worked staff were super territorial and not welcoming in the least of new staff or ideas ... really just a depressing work environment that I'm glad to be rid of

Cons

Weak in communicating status of individual projects as they pertain to the overall strategy. Limited IT department holding back progress.
