Kaiser is a good place to work if you want to be in the same job for 20 or 30 years and retire at 65.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, good pay, easy work (sometimes boring). If you ask the many people who are over 60 and worked for Kaiser at the same job for over 20 or 30 years, they'd probably tell you it's a great place to retire.

Cons

It depends on the dept you are in. This is a huge organization. I have been with Kaiser for almost 3 years. I am starting to get bored and wanting a new job. Things move forward very slow in Kaiser, if it moves forward at all. We talk talk and talk about projects and plans in meetings and on conference calls, but things rarely get implemented.
