Pros

Overall Benefits: health, life/work balance, pension

Cons

The Board of Directors: With George Halverson being CEO and Chairman of the Board who has oversight of George Halverson? The 'rubber stamp' board selected, who reads of a whose who in Kaiser Permanente.....what ever happened to having an independent BOD? I believe that the first step to recovery for this organization is to clean house starting at the top. This is not to say that that the vision of George is not valid only that there is no checks in power in this massive organization.

Pros

The benefits are great and it is a stable organization. There are a lot of smart people and many of them care about serving the members well. Kaiser provides great care overall to its members, and that is something to be proud of.

Cons

No matter how much new blood they bring in, they still resist changing the culture. It is a lifer's dream of analysis paralysis, lack of reward or value for creative thinking, and the herd mentality. The culture of consensus is sllllooowww and painful, and not in its best interest in today's market.
