Pros

The pay and benifits are great. The reason most employees are still there

Cons

Promotions are based on Who you know not what you know. Favoritism is given to butt kissers. High turnover rate in most positions. You dont find out your work schedule until after training is completely over.

Pros

Some of the doctors care

Cons

Kaiser in general has no idea where they are going because they do not know what they are doing as a medical establishment we have been watching them deliver bad decisions for over 15 years.

Good Benefits, but poor working culture

Business Outlook

Pros

If you are working for the Health Plan or Program Office, pay is below the industry average (around 30-40 percentile). Medical benefit is okay. However, PTO is pretty reasonable.

Cons

Dont expect any pay raise for the next couple years. KFHP basically freeze all its employees' salary in order to have enough money to raise the salary of the hospital and medical groups physicians. Promotion is terrible, but only happen annually. Work culture and communication are terrible. Resource allocation is a disaster. There are teams with large group of team members that takes months to finish projects that a person can finish it within a week.
