Pros

Great benefits such as full medical, dental and generous vacation package. KPbelieves in doing the right thing for the patient. Ethical. I like how the organization supports is "Thrive" campain by not only having healty oriented classes for patients, but works to support employees toward better health. There's a weekly Farmers Market onsite, online tools to help with fitness and diet goals. They have health fairs so employees can get their health questions answered. Great education opportunities. Strong company growing--not stagnant. Feel like I have job security.

Cons

Being too big can be tough when you want to make changes "across the board"

Pros

It's a paycheck. You don't get wet on rainy days.

Cons

Ooooo, where do I start? Company union. Workers treated likes slaves. Not allowed to use phones unless "emergency." Prisoners get more feedback and communication than Kaiser workers do. Deadend assembly line-like job. Quality of care is last consideration. Even doctors have given up trying to buck the "Kaiser way."

Pros

The people have a well developed sense of helping the community. I especially enjoy working for a not-for-profit health care organization. Kaiser appears to retain employees very well. Many of my colleagues have worked for the organization for 20 and 30 years. The commitment to personal and career growth is evident, although one must work to assure they take advantage of the opportunities offered. They are not generally handed out along with our paychecks. The employee benefits are very attractive, and tend to make up for the less completive salaries

Cons

Bureaucratic and slow to change Highly politicized segments of the organization Loss of accountability among some leadership
