      Good business vision but ineffective management and leadership

      Design consultant

      Pros

      Benefits are good - pensions, medical coverage, etc. Nice people at the staff level.

      Cons

      Ineffective management and leadership. Chaotic work structure. Technology backwaters. Plenty of laid-back workers who are just here to retire and not caring about results and productivity - due to lack of rewards and incentives for good results, the hardship in getting things done (plenty of red-tape processes but lack of proper working processes), tons of politics, an overly consensus-driven culture, etc. Performance evaluation is a one-way street: managers are not accountable to their staff and their only incentive is to kiss up and be liked by their bosses.

      Pros

      The health benefit would probably be the best thing at kaiser, it's free. After retirement and have worked at kaiser for a long time ~20 years, I think your health insurance is still free or pay a small premium.

      Cons

      The nurses are overworked, they dont get enough support from management and support staff. I dont feel safe working there. I was prone to making more mistakes. I wouldn't want to be a patient there either. People think kaiser pays their nurses the most, this is only true if you are a new grad or have less than 3 yrs experience. Most employees are union members, they think they are untouchable so they could care less if they work hard or not. Supervisors are doing a poor job managing their staff.

      Kaiser good for benefits

      Project manager

      Pros

      The benefits are really good for those who have families. It doesn't cost anything to insure yourself and your family and the copays are only 25 dollars I think. IF you and your spouse work for Kaiser then you have 'dual coverage' which means that you don't pay anything for medications and doctors visits. This makes healthcare for a Kaiser family very very very very cheap. They have a lot of hospitals around the inland Emprire and the Los Angeles area. Overall it is a good place to work and provides decent opportunity to move around in the organization in the region.

      Cons

      It is a very bureacratic organization. Everything is painfully slow.
