Pros

People are generally very nice - on the Malcom Baldrige personality rating - many "F's" or "feelers" here

Cons

Organized by the Unions, so it takes FOREVER to get process changes in place - we're not able to respond quickly enough to changes in the competitive environment. Mangers, depsite not being part of a union, are not able to negotiate for pay raises - pay raises are deteremined yearly by HR and handed out.

Wonderful co-workers and interesting work....

Pros

The part of working at Kaiser? Many of the finest coworkers that I've had the privilege to work with in my 30 years of work. Second: the focus on the members (patients) care as the primary goal of our work. Third, they are big enough to have interesting work, with innovation and justifiable pride in their electronic record. Not least among the other items is the excellent support for my need to take time and/or work at home during a family crisis.

Cons

The need for consensus and multiple meetings (and emails) to make a decision may delay results and complicates projects. May not be the best place for you if you are not patient or can't deal with uncertainty and/or lack of control of "your" project's time or outcome.
