Pros

The pay and benefit packages (union) far exceed any other place of employment. They work hard at being the best employer. Easy to transfer to other locations. The longer you work for them the more opportunity you have to move up and around. Easy to get time off - many perks!

Cons

Kaiser's reputation is simply awful, and people who are 'stuck' with Kaiser insurance make sure they let you know they do not want you or the company. The management seems to be unaware of the 'hate' status that plagues most members, they do not work on customer service skills even to their own employees.

Pros

Money. Many of my friends work there.

Cons

No ongoing professional training. Everyday is fly-by-nite, re-invent the wheel. Nepotism rules. Unlicensed personnel are allowed to pretend they are licensed and engage in direct patient care, which is damaging to the nursing profession. The IT Department is a joke. The most unethical, immoral, & corrupt are destined for management. Senior Management is afraid to think outside of the box, when faced with what seems to be insurmountable problems, they choose to break the law instead of embracing best practices from others. Our work environment can only be described as a "sick building." Many employees are suffering from severe respiratory problems, asthma, headaches for the first time in their lives.

Pros

Superb Benefits. Little need to watch administrative stuff. Just be a clinician. Colleagues are all superb, with a very collegial atmosphere.

Cons

You don't run your own schedule. Dealing with a union environment is challenging at times.
