Business Outlook

Pros

Organizational Stability. Benefits, Ability to transfer to take advantage of internal job opportunties. Emphasis on labor partnership, extensive opportunity for personal development. Strong focus on Workforce Diversity.

Cons

The ogranization is huge. Very often the right hand isnt even aware there IS a left hand let alone what it might be doing. The division between the internal entities (Hospital / Health Plan vs. The Medical group) sometimes borders on the ridiculous. Also the "Kaiser Reward" if you are good at something expect to be given a WHOLE lot more if it to do .
