Pros

Benefits and job security are amazing, opportunity to learn and grow knowledge of both a health plan and hospital operations in one company can't be accomplished anywhere else - the integrated model which KP is.

Cons

Slow to change culture..So many people have been at this company for so long that they lack that outside perspective of how things are done elsewhere. The not for profit culture creates mediocrity in KP employees

Pros

The physicians treat you with respect and like a peer, they accept my recommendations and suggestions also. They are all very supportive with my decisions. I have worked at many other hospitals on the West Coast outside of Kaiser. I have had doctors yell, lose their temper, and treat RNs like second class citizens. One of my cardiologists was telling me that PCP MDs are not aggressive enough with managing lipids for patients who have had events. He and I now go to area facilities and provide lunch time talks to Primary Care Doctors regarding lipid management, and provide a question and answer period

Cons

I see employees wasting supplies, and abusing sick time. They have no concept of the difficulties other facilities have

Pros

If your a physician it's the 9-5 hours.

Cons

Anything else but being a physician and your are the 'worker dog'. Docs have it much better if they are a specialist and get long appointments with patients unlike other providers.
