Pros

Provides Healthcare to underserved/poor in a greater percentage than required by law

Cons

Poor treatment of staff, low pay, poor healthcare (especially for a hospital system) and other benefits, low or no raises, no or limited promotional opportunities, no loyalty to staff, and while they preach their "mission and ethics" they sure don't follow it in management. They will work you like a dog, reward their buddies, raises are very low, and management just doesn't listen to the staff. If you want to move up, you had better be connected because hard work will get you nowhere fast.

Pros

Except for upper management, it was a pleasant place to work. Upper management didn't seem to be in touch with the workings of the hospital.

Cons

Christus first cut the hours of the non clinical people and eventually laid off more than 100 people within the past year. They kept the merit pay that they were withholding for the people they laid off. There is absolutely no job security with this company. The insurance plan is ridiculous; you have to fight to get them to pay for anything. Definitely not an an employee oriented company.

Pros

They have many job openings for nurses and therapists. Can get in the door easily and quickly. Benefits are comparable to some other area hospitals. Faith-based hospital with some old traditions continuing. No parking fees for patients.

Cons

Lack of respect and support for middle management. Middle management afraid to speak up due to high risk in this area. Oppositonal thinking discouraged even with team building exercises. Hostile work environment with very high turnover. Lack of profitability with blame shifted downward while key people who caused (and continue to cause) financial woes are left blameless. Patient satisfaction very low in scoring and evident in day-to-day activities on patient floors. Recent decreases in benefit packages, and salaries have caused more turnover in key areas. Corporate takeover evident with emphasis on profit rather than community service, quality of care and patient satisfaction. Employee satisfaction at all time low. Core values in limbo.
