Pros

The pay and benefit packages (union) far exceed any other place of employment. They work hard at being the best employer. Easy to transfer to other locations. The longer you work for them the more opportunity you have to move up and around. Easy to get time off - many perks!

Cons

Kaiser's reputation is simply awful, and people who are 'stuck' with Kaiser insurance make sure they let you know they do not want you or the company. The management seems to be unaware of the 'hate' status that plagues most members, they do not work on customer service skills even to their own employees.
