Pros

Benefits, Job security, cohesive and easy to use computer chart. It is very hard to get fired, and the benefits/compensation are hard to beat. The computer chart is very good and relatively easy to use.

Cons

Abusive working environment. Kaiser (SCPMG) is right for some providers, but for others it will turn out to be one of the worst experiences of their lives. At Kaiser you work for the partners (both current and retired because someone has to pay their pensions), and the nursing unions. They claim to strive for excellence, inclusivity and equality, but you will soon find that everything they say is a farce. If you strive for excellence but make any waves in doing so, you are automatically told that you are the problem. If you kow tow and do whatever they say, they will still find a way to blame you for something that admin told you to do. I know this sounds like bitterness, but I can assure you that it is based on fact. If you realize that you are being abused in any situation, just leave. That is my advice, and in hindsight, I probably stayed much longer than I should have.

Pros

high hourly wage flexible scheduling easy job

Cons

upper management is a nightmare- part time and full time RNs are always upset as such, I am not interested in advancing from per diem to part time/full time poor attitudes of employees

Pros

you can truly work 9-5 if that is what you are looking for

Cons

Cliques everywhere. If you dont play their game you will not succeed. Building is a disaster. I watched water pour on parked cars in the garage when it rains outside. Cars regularly get damaged due to careless coworkers and because there are no cameras in the whole building, it is impossible to find out what happened. Old, unattractive surroundings with ugly furniture/cubicles from the 80s. Even few updated areas look cheap, mismatched and so patterned that if you look into the floor too long you may get dizzy. Smell of burnt coffee follows you everywhere. Certain “directors” are beyond arrogant, rude and brash with lower level employees. Also, you basically get warned in orientation not to go executive suite ever. Entitlement and huge egoes. President does not hold her reports accountable so these behaviors then just spread to other departments.
