Pros

Nice building in Irving. Generous PTO (when you can take it). Their standards for hiring are low so those having difficulty getting jobs at other employers due to poor skills may want to consider Christus corporate.

Cons

Christus has an extremely poor understanding of how unhappy their employees are. Chistus pays below market and expects people to work absurd hours. Employees are not rewarded for their efforts and are constantly complaining about their situation. A reoccurring problem that seems to be apparent across all departments (accounting, PFS and IM specifically) is extremely poor managers and system directors. I'm not sure where Christus hired many of its middle management, but they are the main reason behind all of the distasteful reviews on Glassdoor. Me specifically, I worked 60+ hours a week for a terrible manager who racially profiled me because I was Caucasian (she was African-american and I was one of the few white employees she worked with). She also constantly yelled and insulted me behind closed doors and consistently blamed me for our teams problems when our systems director would inquire. She even attempted to turn HR against me and HR would not even hear my side of the story. several of my colleagues encountered similar situations and would reach our to HR for help but HR would also give them the cold shoulder

Pros

Lovely accommodations, friendly co-workers. Lot's of room for advancement as the company is growing. Good opportunity to learn different aspects of healthcare. They have a lot of events to bolster teamwork and open communications and integrity. Pay and benefits are pretty good with a lovely urgent care clinic "Free" on campus. Most coworkers are at least "trying" to make it a better place, most have been hardworking and resourceful. Though I found this to be because you often do things with little or know training by anyone who has been there longer than 2 or 3 years who may not know themselves. They seem to always be hiring, its an excellent place to get your feet wet and if you don't know hat you are doing no one will be able to tell. Get in get what you need and move on. I was here maybe 4 months got a promotion into a position I had never heard of and told "here is the manual". Good luck.

Cons

The company seems to perpetually "restructuring" though no structure is ever achieved or maintained uniformly departments seem to wok in silos, communication is stifled, Upper management is constantly insisting on integrity, team work etc. but no one is held accountable for anything. No one knows their job, and if you ask for information you often have to "find" the one person who knows everything or find it yourself getting a run around. You learn a lot but the learning is of your own effort and you may not often know you have done something wrong or right until the assignment just doesn't come back to you. It just seems like a lot of people learning something new for the first time all together. Inclusion and mentor programs seem to be a myth.

Pros

The left over food from meetings that the little people like us get.

Cons

The work environment. One open room with one hundred people. Senior/executive management is such a joke. Worse place to I've worked.
