Pros

The benefits and compensation are well above the average. Definitely would have stayed within the company if i were to pursue a career in the medical field. Typically, KP is very understanding of employees' situations. Depending on where you work, employees are typically backed by a union which can be beneficial to the employee under certain circumstances. There are opportunities to move elsewhere within the company, and management is supportive of this for the most part. Co-workers are also great to work with.

Cons

Just like working for any other hospital, the patients can be extremely difficult to work with. At times, when requesting days off, you will be given a difficult time.

Pros

Benefits, bonuses, numerous locations to work.

Cons

With the economic downturn, hiring for the post part is frozen. Temporary workers are all dismissed. Employees who resign from jobs -- even those that that require a high degree of certification --are not being replaced. When an administrative person leaves their job, they are not replaced. Instead, their full time duties are given to another admin person who already has a full plate. This poor unfortunate person now does 80 hours of work but is paid for the same 40 hours as before. This is extremely unfair and probably illegal. In the meantime, the company continues to pay recruiters during a hiring freeze who have little to do.
