Current, but fortunately soon to be former employee
Pros
Pay and benefits, and that’s all folks. There is nothing else this corporate bureaucratic hell hole can provide you, not even good Medical insurance. Their medical plan and services leaves a LOT to be desired and a lot to be concerned about.
Cons
That’s all Kaiser has to offer, pay and benefits. I do enjoy my co-workers, but Kaiser as an organization dated. None of their systems work, they just give you more Work and a headache trying to get things done, which you won’t or only will at a snails pace. Too much bureaucracy and politics and majority of time is spent with/in meetings where absolutely nothing gets done. Time and life is wasted. It’s a soul sucking place that is fixed it it’s old ways, does not allow for creativity and growth as a professional. I’m not a machine and I’m Certainly not a slave to any salary. There is no training, management is a lost cause, and work life balance is not valued, there is no space for that. There is such high staff turnover, and many stay within kaiser, simply transferring to other departments, which speaks to a high level of dissatisfaction, yet folks are unwilling to leave because of the pay and benefits=golden handcuffs, it’s absolutely not worth it. Good luck THRIVEing while your soul is being sucked.
