Toxic culture - it's really bad

Pros

Pay and benefits are good

Cons

This a place where unqualified managers who used the buddy system to get where they are in the organization abuse you, micromanage you, make stuff up, and dispose of you when they see in your eyes you're on to the them. As a result, those who remain are C-level employees or A-level employees staying low key and not working to their potential. Do NOT speak up, no matter what they tell you - it will be the beginning of the end for you. Don't think it will be different for you. Go somewhere else before you enter into this mess. They will smile at you in the hallway and then throw you under the bus once they turn the corner. And even though we all know HR is not an advocate for employees, they will protect SVPs and above at all costs and try to wear you down.

Pros

Benefits, Job security, cohesive and easy to use computer chart. It is very hard to get fired, and the benefits/compensation are hard to beat. The computer chart is very good and relatively easy to use.

Cons

Abusive working environment. Kaiser (SCPMG) is right for some providers, but for others it will turn out to be one of the worst experiences of their lives. At Kaiser you work for the partners (both current and retired because someone has to pay their pensions), and the nursing unions. They claim to strive for excellence, inclusivity and equality, but you will soon find that everything they say is a farce. If you strive for excellence but make any waves in doing so, you are automatically told that you are the problem. If you kow tow and do whatever they say, they will still find a way to blame you for something that admin told you to do. I know this sounds like bitterness, but I can assure you that it is based on fact. If you realize that you are being abused in any situation, just leave. That is my advice, and in hindsight, I probably stayed much longer than I should have.

Pros

high hourly wage flexible scheduling easy job

Cons

upper management is a nightmare- part time and full time RNs are always upset as such, I am not interested in advancing from per diem to part time/full time poor attitudes of employees
