Pros

Great benefits, pay, and good co-workers and managers. Everyone is very positive and work hard to handle the stress the company offers their employees. Every so often they will do a lunch of appreciation, and incentive if you don't call off too many times in the year.

Cons

Too stressful with the management stressing CSR's with Quality Assurance, being on time and taking calls back to back with no breathing time in between. Everything is being watched and looked over, can't go to the restroom without being asked what were you doing for 7+ minutes in the Restroom. They can get extreme when not expected, especially when you know you work hard and mostly better than many others around. Of course others who lack get written up but if you're working hard you will only get questioned on some actions not actual write up.

IT at Kaiser is optional

Pros

For a HealthCare organization, I'm sure Kaiser is pretty progressive. Compared to the rest of the world, not so much.

Cons

IT is looked at as "optional" at Kaiser. The cutting edge technology in the company is IBM and LotusNotes. The amount of paid vacation and paid holidays is subpar. Salaries are low. And unless you chose to drink the Kaiser koolaid and have Kaiser insurance, the benefits are not only not that great they do not conform with the Health Care Reform Act which is hypocrisy at its finest since the healthcare plans provided to its members must conform. If you enjoyed IT in the 90s Kaiser is the place for you! Forget cutting edge, the technology used isn't even new. The entire company is segmented including IT. Cross-collaboration is nearly impossible and analysis paralysis reigns supreme! If you like to sit around and talk about doing things for months on end and then like to spend months making a decision this is the place for you! The leadership team is painfully aware that they do not make the decisions from a technology perspective, the physicians do. Talk about a company held hostage...
