Pros

If you're a "sit down, shut up and tow the party line" type person you'll work here for a really long time. Much of the company has been employed there for 10+ years.

Cons

KP is just starting to think about solving the IT problems and implementing the practices every other company solved a decade ago such as patching, rebooting, OS images, application sprawl, virtualization, ITIL/PMI standards, etc. KP still uses Lotus Notes. There is significant resistance to technology change by those who have been there a long time and the business has no interest in adopting industry standards for IT management. KP IT suffers from a complete lack of vision and principles.

Pros

1. co-workers and the people on the ground are hard-working and trying their best to make the system work 2. if you stay with the company long enough to reap the retirement compensation, then the benefits make up for the below median hourly rate

Cons

MANAGMENT at every level. Antiquated 1970's top down approach to business. increasing demands on employees to do more more more and not willing to pay for it. Cronyism. Lack of communication and lack of transparency.

Pros

Anyone who works at Kaiser will tell you one there is only one pro working for Kaiser; they pay you well. It's a constant struggle, do you quit and take a drop in pay or stay and potentially work yourself to death?

Cons

This company is a healthcare system, yet it's all about the bottom line. How much money can they can make? How many clients can be seen in the least amount of time and (hopefully) not kill anyone?
