Pros

Many employees have been here a long time, there are opportunities to grow and take on different duties. There are excellent benefits which are very good for new families. I would recommend it as a place to have a career.

Cons

At times changing positions and growing in the career can be difficult. Projects don't always stay on timelines, have to be flexible and willing to adapt as needed. Some positions require a lot of travel

Business Outlook

Pros

Kaiser is a large company and is a safe bet for people who seek long term employment. There are many locations to choose if you want to transfer. Kaiser has many training programs for little to no cost.

Cons

Recent reduced benefits to non union employees. Morale is low in some area's due to indifference by upper management. Union staff are bored since pay raises are not based on merit and every union person receives one...even if they are a low performer.
