Pros

Compensation is fair (just compensation, benefits aren’t great).

Cons

No “flex PTO” - you have a PTO bank and a sick bank. You can only use the sick time for doctor’s appointments and actual physical sickness. So if you’re never sick, you just lose that time. Middle management is not aligned with C-suite, causing tension, confusion, and miscommunication. Technology is lacking (paper PTO forms, no interoffice IMing system, etc). They conduct “random” drug testing (like they have all the money in the world laying around to pay for that!) and if you get called, you have to literally drop everything right then and there, miss or be late to meetings, etc. to go do that. What a great message to send to employees — “we don’t actually care about the work you’re doing or its importance, we want to intentionally interrupt your day and productivity.” Every single day feels like you’re on an episode of The Office, except you’re not chuckling at it because now it’s your life. Overall, a very “old school” mindset and culture. Progress, innovation, and creativeness are nonexistent—it’s 2018 and the place is being run like it’s 1994.

Pros

Used to be a good company to work for.

Cons

Because of recent problems due to a failed Merger 4 years ago. The company has lost it way and is poorly managed.

Pros

Large company, plenty of room to grow and advance into other areas of healthcare.

Cons

CHS has been selling hospitals over the last year or two in order to stop hemorrhaging money. The hospital employees do not know until pretty much last minute, so it has been very stressful waiting to see who is getting sold and who is not. It also seems to make them more reluctant to fill open positions, so many of us find extra work falling on us in order to fill the gaps, but of course our pay remains the same.
