Could be better

Pros

Great pay, great benefits. Wonderful patients.

Cons

Poor management. Upper management more focused on numbers rather than quality service to our members. Hard to move up and promote due to union guidelines. They go by seniority when considering promoting or changing positions before considering skills and qualifications.

Pros

Good benefits, takes care of their member benefits unless you work part-time. I had a great supervisor, which made working for me an easier decision. Pays better than most hospitals.

Cons

Not a lot of helpful staff, unfortunately, unless the supervisor requested. Very clique-y, and a lot of arrogant nurses show superiority over most allied health workers compared to other hospitals I've worked for.

Much Different Than Your Normal Work Environment

Pros

Highest paying, wages tied to the San Francisco bay area. The benefits are decent, you get Kaiser insurance for you and your family, you do not pay for this health insurance. You can choose to go with another insurance offering, but it only covers partial payment for health care costs.

Cons

Union versus Employer antagonistic environment. Union rules are the guidelines, but the employer tries to push productivity to the highest limits. Your time is heavily regulated, from bathroom breaks to time off the computer, multiple codes for these functions. In meetings with management, it is advised you use your union representative for every meeting, due to the fact that any agreement or understanding with higher level Managers, can be denied at a later time. Don't let the smiles fool you, everything you do or say, can be used against you. The training is vigorous, and if you do not meet their efficiency standards, you are released, and barred from ever working for any part of the company, in the future, including as a janitor !
