Pros

CHS offers many opportunities for growth, improvements, staff training, etc. Overall, the office I worked in was surrounded by great people, a fun staff.

Cons

CHS is a great company to work for, do not get me wrong. However, CHS would benefit from broadening services offered for mental health/referral, especially with regard to the care management team; there were some great people I worked with that should have been given more opportunity. One worker who relocated, who was an amazing therapist and supervisor, was initially told she could but then wasn't allowed to be given the opportunity to work as a tele-worker form her new state, simply b/c CHS did not yet have a policy/procedure around this. However, CHS fails to realize the world is moving in that direction, insurance companies have tele-health workers all over the world. A telephonic position like care management lost an absolutely amazing role model, supervisor and therapist when they chose to not let her remain on the team from her new state. There was nothing the CM cannot do from home, being everything is online and over the phone. Not to mention, the CM team was merged to CHS from a previous company and there is a previous worker who DOES work from home, from another state.

Pros

-You will learn a lot about patient care, and a lot about yourself too. -Always have overtime available -Tuition reimbursement and health care available if you work 3 days a week or more -Some of the RNs, PAs, NPs, and MDs are extremely intelligent, hard working, and kind. Same goes for the majority of the support staff that keep the hospital humming. Smile at someone and they most likely will smile back! -Lots of diligent equipment to make patient transfers safe and easy.

Cons

-Unsafe patient ratios on telemetry floors. -Super high turn over leads to chronic short staffing on all floors. This makes the job very difficult. As a nurse extender my ratios have gone as high as 18:1. Impossible to get the work done, and every shift is short. Patients get frustrated and angry when they feel their needs are not being attended to in a timely fashion; staff gets frustrated and angry when expected to do the work of three people. -Super high turn over leads to constant influx of freshly graduated inexperienced nurses with 7-8 patients each. See above vicious cycle about patients and staff. -Management does not take an active role in correcting the behavior and performance of nursing staff-but always push Press Ganey numbers down our throats. -Antiquated payroll and HR systems do everything on paper, takes forever to get anything done. Almost everyone I've dealt with in payroll, HR, and employee health has acted like I'm inconveniencing them by asking them to do their jobs.

Pros

Benefits are pretty good and have choices for supplemental insurances with great costs

Cons

no room for advancement. The management is poor and does not aid in your assistance if you are having issues. Many people have multiple titles because of who they know. There is no union so rules are just made up as they go along.
