Pros

Some areas have work life balance, other areas expect long hours. Kaiser has been laying off employees but the work grows. Hence long hours for many remaining employees.

Cons

Political, favoritism, management is more concerned with managing up than managing and growing their employees. Hard to move up unless you excel in politics. This is not the place to work if you believe that being smart, adding value and doing the right thing will help you move up in the organization. Marginal employees are constantly promoted because they are political, not because they improve the company or are good leaders.

Pros

good benefits and bonus for management

Cons

Salary. Less staff and more absorption of work trying to fit 70 -80 hours in a 50-60 hour work week is stifling First started working ave 40-45 a week and now ave in excess of 60 per week because of no backfills

Pros

WAGES, Union will bat for you (only after 90 days)

Cons

poor training and on-boarding, sink-or-swim, not organized, will work you 9 or 10 days straight and balance it so you don't get o/t pay, every weekend and holiday as an on-call w/o so much as asking you before etching the schedule in stone, encourage employees to work double shifts that cause mistakes in pt care & testing, strict 3day/6mo sick days (they have sick emp's working with pts?), ,, sr employees are lazy, old out dated unsafe technique/skills, no dress code=facial piercings,exposed gang type tattoos and dirty t shirts/sweat pants; scary for patients, no certifications or formal training required, heartless or rushed butchers trying to draw morning labs up to 30 pts in less than 2 hrs make their Sunnyside lab a horrific place to work. It will get worse as they downsize to make room for new west hospital.
