Pros

Good benefits package Good coworkers My department has an excellent manager Fair wages Work life balance is okay, but you'll go home so exhausted you probably won't want to do anything.

Cons

Impossible caseload and unreasonable schedules. We cannot possibly provide true quality services at the pace they expect us to see patients. It is almost impossible for someone to schedule a timely follow-up appointment, so patients wait a long time between visits. Best practices for the field cannot be followed because therapy is not meant to work like this. Workers are burning out at an incredible rate due to being overworked and discouraged by the care patients are getting. KP is trying to run mental health care like a car wash: get 'em in and get 'em out as fast as possible so the next person in line can come through. Everyone in my office is exhausted, frustrated, and discouraged. Morale is consistently very low and employees are starting to give up. People are not expecting it to get better any time soon.

Pros

They encourage a healthy work life balance with their "Thrive" campaign and offer many opportunities to get physical activity in while at work. Often see groups of people walking for exercise during their break and they have installed outdoor gym equipment for employee use. Yoga, meditation are also offered.

Cons

They low balled my salary offer and I feel like it was because I was unemployed after being laid off from my previous employer. They convinced me that it work itself off with annual bonus (3-7% of salary) and annual merit increase. At my one year review they informed me there would be no bonus and no merit increase due to budget shortfalls. This will be second year with no bonus and no merit increase.
