Pros

The doctors and staff are very nice.

Cons

It’s expensive to live here. There isn’t much to do and there are only a couple of good restaurants. You have to chart in 5 different programs so the charting and paperwork is a lot - but you get used to it.

Depends on the facility, but overall my >1y experience with CHS has been mostly positive.

For most technical positions, compensation is at least slightly above average comparable to local competitors. Intrapersonal employee-to-employee work culture is above average. There tends to be a sense of solidarity regarding the struggles of working in healthcare; interestingly, “kindness” is a widely and commonly practiced core tenet. Cultural tolerance even down to most aspects of accommodating dress code exceptions, is excellent. As with many for-profit corporations, instruments tend to be somewhat aged, and software feels outdated, but is mostly tolerable due to associated positives of working for CHS, overall. Of course, most aspects differ facility to facility, but I would be comfortable trying a CHS facility different to the one by which I was employed.
