Do not work for CHS

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice parking garage only because they acquired it from leasing out the former hospital.

Cons

No support from CHS upper level leadership, no trust, 15-20 years behind in business technology, no raises or market adjustments in over 5 years, low salaries, no education/training/culture to promote from within. Slow growth. Too many "senior" leaders riding their time and making poor, inept decisions that impact the future of the firm. Low patient satisfaction. Low physician satisfaction. Board of Trustees make decisions influenced by round table group-think rather skill, speed, intelligence and are grossly over paid. Hiring freezes every 60-90 days and health plan is reduced to simple major medical insurance coverage that is very expensive and useless unless you have invasive surgery.

Pros

Co-workers are fantastic. Patient/customer care is foremost in their daily goals

Cons

Executive leadership appears more focused on personal bonus' and shareholder gains. Three times in 2014 FTE's have been cut to 32-hour work weeks - hourly workers taking 20% pay cuts and salaried staff forced to take vacation time. Employees are told to be thankful they have jobs, and if they are unhappy they can work elsewhere.
