Pros

Tolerable health benefits, free parking,that's about all that i can say that would be a best reason to work for Community Health Systems

Cons

Pension frozen, arrogant managers, all functions revolve around cost--not what's necessarily the best for the patient, bathrooms are filthy, overpriced lousy cafeteria food, crappy computer systems, always running out of supplies(especially on weekends and holidays), staffing levels are sometimes horrendous.

Pros

Stable company in good financial shape. Excellent co-worker atmosphere. Average to good salaries.

Cons

Lack of resources to do your job efficiently. Old computer equipment, severe understaffing, unrealistic expectations. Senior Management may run the company profitably, but they have no clue as to what is going on below the 7th floor.

Pros

Very stable, well run company. Management is very talented and I had complete confidence in them that they would make sure that employees kept their jobs and shareholders saw returns.

Cons

Very conservative--- run like a 1980s company. Corporate management is an old-boys club and there is a big emphasis on everyone else to "pay their dues." There was very little feedback and if you are a young person just starting out, be prepared for a tough ride-- a lot of pressure for "face time" and no bonus. Benefits were lacking as well- only 10 days vacation but people game the system and call in sick all the time- not very advanced in human capital management. No culture.
