      A place to take a break from working

      Manager

      Pros

      Benefits and training. Work/life balance.

      Cons

      Union employees who are entitled, they lie cheat and steal but are then rewarded. It's a shame because the company could cut premium costs to its members by having zero tolerance for people that don't do their jobs, are protected by the union and treatj customers poorly. Senior management promotes based on relative or friend, not qualifications. One senior manager proclaimed how he would ruin someone's career and life and prevent them from ever working in KP.

      Not a meritocracy

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Kaiser pays extraordinarily well. They have to in order to attract even mediocre talent. If you are healthy, the HMO is very affordable. If you actually need to see a health care provider, you will want to use their PPO, which is prohibitively expensive.

      Cons

      Some managers have been honest enough to admit there are only so many good review scores to go around, and they are doled out to mission critical employees only. Extraordinary employees will have gratitude heaped on them by their beleaguered co-workers and more astute managers. That will have to be compensation enough. The cash cow dries up considerably once you're a few years in and stuck in a dead-end job.

      Pros

      There is a lot of staff support in case you need to take time to take care of a particular problem.

      Cons

      union, no raises outside contract negotiated by union, salary and raises not based on performance but rather what union negotiates as a whole
