Pros

Kaiser provides excellent medical and dental benefits for self & family. Good wage (well earned). Good vacation and ill time allowed. They provide exceptional medical and dental care, and really have a heart towards the members and giving good customer service. They are getting better about getting rid of employees who are not being productive or doing their part - this is long overdue.

Cons

Good people have been fired and incompetent people hired in their place. Systems have failed, but yet they remain. Kaiser is unwilling to concede when a system or appplication fails. Millions of dollars are wasted on systems that do not work, or are not correct. Billing, claims, group accounting processes - things are messed up, and a lot of money has been wasted. There is a lot of pressure on managers, staff & doctors to do the impossible.

Pros

Reputation, salary, job security and benefits. I have worked at Kaiser for a few solid years without ever feeling my job was in jeopardy because of layoffs and cutbacks.

Cons

As with everywhere else in the economy Kaiser is affected, the result downsizing and more cost effective procedures which also results in significant cultural change with our day to day duties.

Pros

Given the large size of the organization, there are many opportunities. For those who are interested in administrative work versus clinical work there are possibilities. The expectations are high. Other physicians in the group are, in general, easy to work worth. I believe the standard of care for the patient are excellent. Senior leadership is usually available when needed. There is a clear carrier path for physicians. Office locations throughout southern california are helpful if moving.

Cons

politics; this organization is huge; changes happens slowly. There is little incentive given for work beyond the norm. The patient load can be demanding for primary care.
