Pros

Pay is good, benefits great.

Cons

It's a hard job. There is an incredible amount of busy work they lay on you and it cuts into the time you need to accomplish a days work in time. Lots of off the clock work because it's so poorly run and organized. You are never done, ever.. and when you say something about it (and we ALL have), they tell you that you have time management issues. We all have time management issues? Most of the nurses cannot work full time for long. The managers don't have management training. They don't provide ways to make your job manageable. What they do is just add one more thing you have to do every day. And deny you administrative time to accomplish it. They don't get it at all. If they simplified it, I could see more patients.

Pros

I've been with Kaiser for 13 years working in the IT field. The people on the business and medical side are great to work with. They are flexible on hours and allow us to work from home once a week. I feel generally apprised of what is going on in the company and benefited from a positive outside view of the healthcare Kaiser provides.

Cons

The technology is severely outdated. The bureaucracy is about the worst I have seen as far as getting things done, getting software upgrades, network connectivity, utilizing decent hardware, and going to tablets and handhelds. IT management is completely disjointed from healthcare delivery. IT services are much more interested in filling out the paperwork and going through the extensive motions than they are of delivering a product or service. If you like filling out forms, waiting in endless lines for approval, and OK with the status quo, this is the place for you.
