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.

Pros

EXPOSURE! You will have the opportunity to work with varying levels of staff, numerous systems, different scenarios and whatever else comes up. Professional Growth - Say what you will about CHS good or bad you are going to grow from the challenges you will face both professionally and culturally. Opportunity - A lot of what is going on at CHS in regards to the negative feedback has a lot to due to their success and rapid growth. While this does create a lot of the negatives people refer to it also makes opportunity fro someone willing to go for it.

Cons

Pay for management is below average. A lot of weak management. Too many chiefs? How many VPs does one department really need? Company still trying to find their identity/culture since acquiring Triad.
