      Hellish

      Assistant rn manager

      Pros

      Great pay and benefits, great comprehensive as well as specialized training opportunities relevant to position, cheap premium parking rates for leaders.

      Cons

      Upper management much more concerned with bottom line than anything else. Too many people in upper floors just sitting around in their desk frequently and regularly cooking up unrealistic baby projects of their own that cost millions to implement, without concern about how it actually impacts the already overworked staff. Staffing is by intent and design chronically kept irresponsibly too lean. Discrimination is rampant, and it's NOT against the African Americans.

      If you are a non union, non exempt employee ... be careful

      Pros

      good people, great technology and great place to work. Love working for Sandy Sharon.

      Cons

      Many union employees have a very limited skill set, but are paid extremely well. If you are non union, administrative, you will have a higher level of knowledge and experience, but the difference in pay is vast. Starting pay for a Department Secretary is ~$24 hourly. Senior Staff Assistant is around ~$23 ... the difference is the Department Secretary will get a 3% raise every year. Senior Staff Assistant will get maybe 1% if raises are even given. After 5 years there is a huge gap in salary. Even if Dept. Sec has to pay dues... the difference is about $6000 in five years.

      Definitely on my list of worst employers I've ever worked for.

      Pros

      Met some wonderful people while working here, but unfortunately they were at other departments and other Kaiser offices. The benefits are fantastic and there are so many opportunities for activities to get involved with related to exercise and well being.

      Cons

      My unfortunate luck occured getting hired in a department with back stabbing employees who are territorial and fearful of losing their jobs as well as a boss who was mentally abusive to me and others who had the same position before me. After being here a short time, I realized that continuing to work at this fine institution was not worth the stress of continuing to work my department so I am moving on.
