Current Employee – been working at Kaiser Permanente for more than a year

Pros – People here are very friendly, and have a big believe in the vision of the organization. The level of experience and professionalism for majority of employees is high and you can learn something new almost everyday and from every interaction.

Cons – Although the organization is trying to consolidate, the large size and number of employees can be a problem. Complexity of the organization processes can be a challenge in the first couple of months, but soon you will learn that each step in the process is very important to succeed.

Current Employee – been working at Kaiser Permanente full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Great culture. Lots of advancement opportunities if you're willing to work hard.

Cons – You literally have to punch your manager in the face to get fired; so there are some "government employees" that have been here forever that don't deserve to be.

Current Employee – been working at Kaiser Permanente full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Great mission that builds on its roots and commitment to what's right. Financially conservative in some ways, which leads to relative job stability. People here truly care.

Cons – Management in marketing is not so great. Many poor hiring decisions at executive level have led to turnover at mid-to-senior level management level. Mid-level management misbehavior is tolerated too long without being addressed. Staff feels lack of vision, other than that we need to save money and work more efficiently.

Advice to Senior Management – Give equal value to seasoned ("legacy") folks and newer folks with varied experience. The old way alone will no longer work, but moving forward without valuing historical knowledge will sink us. Truly empower us and don't treat us like children with management theory cliches (this mesage to a select few)

Current Employee – been working at Kaiser Permanente full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Job security. The ability to work in different cities and still work for the company. Always on the Cutting edge for what's new in healthcare in America. I'm proud to work here and proud to be associated with an Organization that works towards being the best place to receive care and the best place to work. Excellent pay, benefits and stability if you work hard and care about our mission.

Cons – Internal IT systems that need to be upgraded. I'm not referring to Electronic Medical Records. Autonomy for different medical centers. The pro is the ability to be innovative and the con is there is, at times, inconsistency in business practices.

Advice to Senior Management – Continue to believe in the ideas and suggestions from the staff that have the most direct contact with our members. Staff can be innovative...tap into that resource as we embark on a new era in healthcare delivery.
