Pros

Kodiak Area Native Association has great pay and they have decent benefits. There 401k match is also good, if you can manage to stay long enough to reap that benefit.

Cons

There is a reason that KANA has a negative image within the community, including their reputation with a majority of natives. They have increasingly poor middle management. I have watched them destroy entire departments due to poor management that they continue to support. It is unfortunate and a major disservice to the Native community within Kodiak. The professional staff is very unhappy overall, from medical to behavioral health to community development. The new children's program is a disaster. The staff doing the work have very poor work-life balance and, often times, poor mental health. Unfortunately the salary draws people in, which has given upper management the impression that they are happy. It has been sad to watch.

Pros

KANA offers amazing benefits. Paid CE and travel opportunities. Each department is pretty isolated, so some are better than others. The patients and much of the staff are wonderful.

Cons

Problems in management from the top down. Can be difficult to get time off. Employees are not appreciated.

Pros

Outstanding benefits, competitive pay, financially stable, vast resources available to staff, continuing education is supported, dedicated and competent staff, high quality services, company is growing and has the support of its management and board.

Cons

There is always a lot going on so information is sometimes slow getting out to staff. With growth comes change, so employees need to be fairly flexible and open to new processes, space changes and expanded service lines.
