Pros

Best: good management and co-workers. Decent pay. The dress code is relaxed and there is no micromanagement. Morale is surprisingly good.

Cons

Bad: Ergonomically incorrect office equipment. People have to fight tooth annd nail just to be provided with the barest of necessities like pens, disinfectant, paper clips, and post-its.

Used to be one of the best places to work

Pros

People who work on the front lines for the most part really care about patients and providing quality healthcare...still have many "veterans" on staff who are both competent and experienced. Decent salaries. Good health benefits.

Cons

Innovation is not valued these days -- emphasis is on cost control. KP used to be one of the best places to work but unfortunately, is now going the same route as other employers as far as HR practices--- i.e., laying off older experienced workers,hiring cheaper younger workers for new job openings, etc. "Keep your nose to the grindstone" mentality
