Pros

Kaiser provides world class health care. It is well organized and frequently takes full advantage of its economies of scale. This includes the promotion of clinical guidelines that reflect latest in clinical studies have to offer.

Cons

As with many very large organizations it can be hard to see the 'big picture'. Decision making is by concensus, and because it is a large organization, decisions are often deliberated at multiple levels within the organization. As a result, decision making occurs within an expanded time horizen.

Pros

You get very comprehensive and affordable medical & dental benefits. You also get excellent disability and life insurance for a very low cost. Pharmacists are paid a competitive salary and are enrolled in the pension plan which is calculated as: Final monthy compensation x 1.5% x years of service. (This amount is pad to you on a monthly basis upon retirement) You can cash this in at age 55 if you have had atleast 15 years of service, or at age 65 after 5 years of service or if age + years of service equals 70. After 5 years the employer will contribute the equivalent of 5% of your salary to a etirement fund. You can also contribute up to $15,500 a year pretax into a retirement fund. Depending on how well the company does during the year pharmacists may also recieve a year end bonus which can be up to 3% of there salary; (although this year we recieved nothing.)

Cons

I'm not happy with the meica insurance. I think for primary care they are excellent however if you need a specialist there is something to be desired. I'm not confident that there specialists are the best and the brightest nor are there enough of them for you to get an appointent in a reasonable amount of time.
