      Help, lost in Kaiser

      Pros

      Kaiser has great training capablility for growth. They provide many types of classes for it's employees.

      Cons

      Kaiser has a history of hiring from the outside instead of promoting from within. Now that there is a hiring freeze, they have employees double up on their duties so they don't have to hire people.

      Don't bank on career advancement possibilities within KP-IT

      Information protection associate

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I gotta admit, I got in to my current job with KP-IT because I knew someone in management in KP-IT. It beats being a contractor. Right now, with this recession and all, having a job that is salaried+benefits is GOLDEN, if you ask me. I think I am getting paid pretty well, considering. If I had to pick the best thing about KP to work for them, it has to be the people I work with.. shoot, even the people I don't work with on a dialy basis are really nice (with the occasional rare exception). I have made several friends since working for Kaiser; and in the I.T. world, having professional contacts is very good to have, especially if you decide later you want to move on to a job in another department, or even leave KP altogether. Having a good work environment co-worker-wise makes the day a lot easier to get through.

      Cons

      Working in KP-IT has definately been interesting, however it seems like every time there is a budget cutback or 'hiring freeze', the first thing to get put on hold is any kind of Kaiser-paid-for training. When I worked support for a past employer as a salaried employee, we got to go to one company-paid training even each year. Since I have been with KP-IT I have been to one KP-paid training event, PERIOD. It would be nice if they invested a little bit more in us; the cost of an outside training event most certainly can be written off as a business expense, I suspect, so I don't see what the hold up is..

      Kaiser-The best employer

      Registered nurse
      Recommend

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The nurses were encouraged to bring new ideas to the table. We were then given the tools to carry out the ideas. The career ladder offered a way to grow professionally. It also provided a means to get recognition and compensation. The commercials were inspiring. They reminded people to take care of their bodies,

      Cons

      None- I would have careered there had I not moved. I had to get out of clinical nursing because the hospital I tried to work for put all their money into buildings and none into the staff. Kaiser has a balance between growth and investing in people
