Pros

I think Kaiser Permanente offers so many oppurtunities for growth. That is one of the main reasons why I wanted to become a part of this company. I think the pay is decent compared to other companies. And the benefits are much better than other companies. No other company offers the type of benefits that we are offered through Kaiser. There are so many benefits outside of the job with your personal life in addition to the ones that have to do with employment. And no other job takes so much consideration with an individuals seniority at the job place.

Cons

I think the company is not strict enough with the attendance policy. I have held three positions at Kaiser and at all three of these locations, the attendance remains to be below standards. People take advantage of the sick time and vacation time that we are offered. And not to forget about the life balance time. I have never worked anywhere where it is okay for people to call off from work so much and come late and stil have a job without at least getting in trouble for it. I guess it has a lot to do with the union.

Pros

Good benefits, stable work environment. When I tell people I work at Kaiser they either ask if I can get them a job thre too or they mention Kaiser Permanente's cool Thrive commercials. I feel stable in my job since it's in the health field. I enjoy working with some intelligent people that are passionate about the work they do. People helping people

Cons

I feel there are a lot of people that work at least in my dept. that work the heck out of the system. Including supervisors, calling in sick at the drop of a hat, doing mediocre word, going out on FMLA for reasons not meant for that program. Since it's a union environment, people are promoted not because of merit but how long that have been with the company. I see a lot of bad behavior swept under the carpet and not dealt with. It makes the employees doing the work wonder why they are working so hard to pick up the slack of non-performers.
