Pros
Woodland Heights is a great little hospital to work with. Located in Lufkin, Texas, a town of about 40,000 was an ideal location. Lufkin is small enough to get to everything quickly and yet big enough to have plenty of restaurants, etc.
Cons
The ICU and Stepdown are under the same umbrella and it is not considered a "float" to go to SDU. On day shift the SDU was a little difficult to work, with nurses having 3 patients without a tech or 4 patients with a tech. It stayed really busy. ICU was good to work, but you never knew to which one you were going to be assigned.

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 As with many for-profit corporations, instruments tend to be somewhat aged, and software feels outdated, but is mostly tolerable due to associated positives of working for CHS, overall.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.
