Pros

Starting Salary, Benefits, but honestly it's not really worth the extra money.

Cons

There is so much work that is expected of the Contact Center Supervisors, with little-to-no help from upper management. This position is also stuck between the eternal struggle of management and the Union. Management wants improvements, but is set to very rigid guidelines by the union contract. It is impossible to reward great employees because the union won't allow it, it believes that everyone should get a trophy. Meanwhile, they only protect employees who do everything they can to miss work or not perform when they are at work. There is no way to affect change because the Labor Management Partnership shoots down everything that might make the business run more effectively.

Pros

Their benefits, but not worth the stress !

Cons

This is a communist organization. I liked almost everything about my job as a hospitalist at Kaiser, except for their malignant leadership. It is a tradition in this company to promote either people who are very bad in their profession or people with mental problems in administrative roles. No one asks for your opinion, there is no democratic election process. Physicians who work in the front line are treated like garbage. Beware of the one who is still the chief of Hospital Medicine at SkyRidge. She has significant mental problems, she fires you if you dare voicing your opinions and she induces a lot of stress among her colleagues. If you have to pee while at work, she needs to know about it. She writes up her colleagues and she encourages the secretaries and the nurses to write up her colleagues, so that she can have "a file" on them and use it against them, when they are inconvenient. Her own chiefs are aware, but they are not doing anything. If you are looking for respect for your hard work and for autonomy, this is not the right company for you !

Pros

A lot of employees really try to deliver the best care possible. Unit Based Teams (UBTs) are empowered to, and actually evaluated on their success at, look at processes to improve patient experience.

Cons

No protections for employees when managers have a vendetta against someone. Mangers who are demonstrably incompetent at evaluating metrics are allowed to take job actions against those they hole clear biases against.
