Pros

The health benefit would probably be the best thing at kaiser, it's free. After retirement and have worked at kaiser for a long time ~20 years, I think your health insurance is still free or pay a small premium.

Cons

The nurses are overworked, they dont get enough support from management and support staff. I dont feel safe working there. I was prone to making more mistakes. I wouldn't want to be a patient there either. People think kaiser pays their nurses the most, this is only true if you are a new grad or have less than 3 yrs experience. Most employees are union members, they think they are untouchable so they could care less if they work hard or not. Supervisors are doing a poor job managing their staff.

Pros

The benefits are really good for those who have families. It doesn't cost anything to insure yourself and your family and the copays are only 25 dollars I think. IF you and your spouse work for Kaiser then you have 'dual coverage' which means that you don't pay anything for medications and doctors visits. This makes healthcare for a Kaiser family very very very very cheap. They have a lot of hospitals around the inland Emprire and the Los Angeles area. Overall it is a good place to work and provides decent opportunity to move around in the organization in the region.

Cons

It is a very bureacratic organization. Everything is painfully slow.

Pros

strong work life balance good corporate culture

Cons

Synthesis of information exchange is difficult... for being such a large organization, there should be a better stream of information.
