Pros

Kaiser bases interventions on an evidence based model for cost effectiveness. Communication across disciplines is encouraged and well supported. Kaiser provides its members a wealth of resources that allows for excellent, interdisciplinary care.

Cons

Large large bureaucracy that is run by medical doctor. Non physician health care providers, depending upon the facility, can be treated as inferior.

Pros

Kaiser treats all of their employees very well. Great pay, amazing benefits, tuition assistance, health coverage, and more. I have had such a great experience so far.

Cons

The only con that I could think of working for Kaiser was the interview process. It took me over 6 months to finally be hired into a position. I went through phone interviews, a panel interview, one on one interview, and group interviews.

Pros

Great benefits, friendly coworkers, good work / life balance. It's very easy to get comfortable. Medical care is inexpensive and there's plenty of vacation time.

Cons

Constant reorganization, leadership changes, no growth opportunities. Morale could be quite low every reorg and there was no transparency as to when there were changes coming,
