Nice place to work if you do not want career advancement!

Medical lab assistant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

6 Percent raise a year along with a 2,000 bonus and free health insurance. Great pay! Union is a plus for health care workers.

Cons

no room for career advancement, the union is also bad because it is hard to fire employees. no matter how well or unwell you do your job, everyone gets the same raise no matter what because of the union. managers favor others. Kaiser will not be around forever, just like the auto industry, their pension plans and retiree benefits are going to be their downfall.

Pros

good retirement and medical benefits

Cons

mostly computer work. That goes for licensed RN's and LVN's as well. Micromanaged, and seems to be more and more about number crunching.
