Not a meritocracy

Pros

Kaiser pays extraordinarily well. They have to in order to attract even mediocre talent. If you are healthy, the HMO is very affordable. If you actually need to see a health care provider, you will want to use their PPO, which is prohibitively expensive.

Cons

Some managers have been honest enough to admit there are only so many good review scores to go around, and they are doled out to mission critical employees only. Extraordinary employees will have gratitude heaped on them by their beleaguered co-workers and more astute managers. That will have to be compensation enough. The cash cow dries up considerably once you're a few years in and stuck in a dead-end job.

Pros

There is a lot of staff support in case you need to take time to take care of a particular problem.

Cons

union, no raises outside contract negotiated by union, salary and raises not based on performance but rather what union negotiates as a whole
