Pros

Salaries seem to be up to the expected standards amoungst the "for profit" hospital industry. Administration personnel of CHS hospitals are grossly overpaid in comparison to the not for profit healthcare community.

Cons

Horribly micromanaged from the top of the corporate food chain down to the individual hospital administrations. "Bottom Line" trumps everything including customer service, staff morale and capital preservation. Upper management is allowed to be arbitrary in their dealings with supervisory staff. If you are starving, you might take a job with CHS, but make it a last resort.

Pros

Potential for true large company thinking,strategy and opportunities.

Cons

When the CIO has to approve the purchase of a battery for a laptop or for a printer to be added at a physicians' office, he is too far in the weeds. Isn't that why you have VPs, Directors, and Managers? Additionally, there is no defined career path and no compensation when promoted to a new position, just more work.
