Pros
CHS is one of the largest employers in the Carolinas and is a great place to work if you're an actual care provider (nurse, MD, etc). If, however, you are just working on the clerical or administrative side, it's a different story. The job experience will vary depending on the site or unit that you work with.
Cons
Generally, employees in clerical or administrative roles are not given the same level of respect or recognition that the actual healthcare providers are. This would be excusable to a point, but I never felt valued as an employee in my role. Communication from management was universally poor and I got the distinct impression that my superiors were doing their best to hinder my career development to keep me in a role that I was overqualified and underpaid for. In fact, despite the fact that I was working the full 40 hours a week for almost a year, they continued to list my status as 'PRN," meaning 'as needed' or temporary. This was done to cut costs, as I wouldnt be eligible for benefits in that job status. This experience was, of course, unique to my unit, but I got the impression that this type of treatment was commonplace throughout the company.
