Pros

I enjoy working with my team. The schedule is flexible. Benefits are good.

Pay is below average but other than that, CHS is a good company to work for.

Pros

Great opportunity for contractors to rack in the money since management changes direction like a squirrel in a pile of nuts. I gave one star since there were no negative stars to give. Otherwise it be a - 5 stars.

Cons

Most managers are lazy and clueless when it comes to doing what matters for building well respected organizations. Projects are always late and over budget. Security and Engineering from the VPN down have cultimated a culture of head in the sand, deny and interfere as well as save money on business critical needs and support til escalated to CIO. The CIO is a mental case as well as many of the top leadership. There's no reason to keep this leadership employed and there should be a wholesale leadership restructuring from the top down. Replacing the incompetent CIO, Directors and VP'so would just be the start. This company has the absolute worst reputation for poorly treating employees, contractors and faculties' staff. This company is ripe for a class action lawsuit. Just as they were ripe to let hackers walk away with 4.5 million patient records. Nice job Security leadership. .. BTW it will happen again since no one is being held accountable and volunteers from the community were leadershipso solution to addresting the massive influx of complaints.

Terrible Place to Work!!

Pros

The people I work with are nice.

Cons

Where to start.... The company has zero respect for it's employees. They act as though they own you and try to dictate all of your time, even past your required 40 hours. There is an over abundance of work due to continued acquisitions, yet they wonder why the work is not getting done, and mandate overtime to attempt to complete it, even on Saturdays with less than a weeks notice. The upper management gets hefty paychecks while the common employee makes nowhere near what they should. There is no support to employees who have outside ambitions or goals. It's like they are jealous that you could potentially do something other than slave for CHS. There are a lot of questionable accounting practices as well which they rationalize with a bunch of big words and changes of conversation. Nothing is planned ahead, and they just expect you to be able to figure out at the last minute. This is an awful place to work and I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy.
