Pros

There is absolutely nothing positive I can think of about Carolinas HealthCare System at this point in time. It has been a bad company to work for for years and it is just going to get worse with the new medical legislation going into place.

Cons

All the money goes to upper level management and the CEO, Michael Tarwater. Lower level employees get virtually nothing. Raises are capped at around 1%. There is no chance for advancement unless you are prepared to kiss upper management's ring or you know someone. I have never worked for a company this dysfunctional nor have I ever been this unhappy at a position. For a CEO of a non-profit organization to get $4 million between salary and bonuses, fly the company jet for personal business, and then tell his employees there is not enough money for decent raises is just disgusting. If you are planning to work in upper level management it is a great company but for all the people that make the money, it is just not worth it.

Pros

Job security, insurance, growing company

Cons

Poor management at several of the locations I have worked. HR is unwilling to help unhappy employees. Minimal pay increases with increasing work load each year and constant under staffing issues. Organization rules are extremely strict and some are just ridiculous. Most depts don't allow overtime.Aside from Novant system there are no other options for medical jobs because CHS owns everything in this area. Therefore they can treat employees indifferently and pay less than deserved.

Pros

PTO accrues from day 1 401k vested from day 1 You keep seniority when moving from one job title to another (as long as you stay part time or full time) Clinical positions offer overtime for those who want extra money Can hold positions at more than one hospital or in more than one department depending on your job title Opportunities to grow within the company

Cons

Insurance isn't that great Pay is below average since CHS controls the healthcare market in the Charlotte area HR is extremely slow, especially during the hiring/transfer process PTO requests can be difficult to get approved depending on the department. Usually have to find someone to cover a shift for you or just suck it up and work the shift All departments are typically understaffed and usually only fully staffed by staff working lots of overtime As with all hospitals, clinical staff are spread entirely too thin
