Pros

Kaiser Permanente offers competitive salaries. Many jobs at Kaiser are union-protected, so this provides job security. The organization strives to provide outstanding customer service, and every year Kaiser receives high ratings in patient satisfaction from its members.

Cons

The downside to the union protection is that there are also many incompetent or lazy employees who would have been fired if it weren't for the unions, but these same employees still hang around as your co-workers, collection paycheck without doing much.
