Community Health Systems Employer Reviews

Management is terrible. Very disrespectful to other staff and to patients and not willing to listen. She is not fair to her staff and does things to cheat you out of money you have earned. Watch your daily sheets AFTER you turn them in. Make sure they are correct everyday. Upper management is aware and does nothing to make things right.

I don't mean this in a bad way. No company is perfect and no company has all wonderful bosses and happy employees, it's just not a realistic expectation. I find it amusing that all the negative reviews of the company on this site, regardless of how short and uninformative, have lots of "Yes - this was helpful" marks, but none of the positive, more informative – more... reviews have those. It just goes to show that, by and large, people who are taking the time to go find places to review their company are more often there to make sure others know how terrible their experience was.

I, on the other hand, have not seen this. I have an excellent boss, his boss is great as well and I'm generally very happy with our upper leadership. I've never been denied a single day of vacation, Dr appt, or anything in over two years. I am well compensated, there is ample room and opportunity for growth as long as you are a positive and successful contributor, as it should be. I feel more or equally secure in my position here at CHS compared to any other company I've worked for.

To be fair, I am aware of some contractors being let go, but full time employees do not get laid off here. You can get fired, just like any other company, but they do not lay off. In fact, one of the negatives, in my opinion, is that they keep people sometimes that are full time when they really should get rid of them. Contractors, and I have been one in a previous life, have to live with the fact that they may be let go on a moments notice for little or no reason. It's an unfortunate but well known aspect of being a contractor. If you don't appreciate that reality, you should find a new one. And yes, the company leadership is worried about the bottom line, they're leading a public company, it's a pretty basic requirement, and I have no issue with the balance they have here.

I am, overall, very happy with my time at CHS. They're not a perfect company with perfect people, and if that's what you are looking for, I wish you luck in the workplace finding that. The culture at the corporate office is generally very positive, and I have spoken with very few people who are unhappy in their position or with the company. My interview was professional as expected and I have been treated very well with very few exceptions. – less

Basically what I did at this job was front office work daily. Periodically, I would help work patients up and give injections. But mostly I collected copayments and deductibles, checked patients in and out, answer phone calls, take messages, called in prescriptions if need be, and did medical records.

I enjoyed working at chs the hardest part of my job there was the lifting of the files that needed to be scanned and that it was so far away from home, but it was a very easy environmen to work in.

CHS cares nothing about its employees. It was repeated many times that anyone can be replaced. The management uses fear tactics and bulldogs the employees with random layoffs. Basically, if you have an opinion, keep it to yourself or you will be fired. The company only cares about facts and figures on paper, not the people that work there. The only – more... happy and satisfied employees would be those in leadership positions. Stay away from CHS. Go where you will be appreciated! – less

Everyone there worked in fear, benefits offered were great, but demand was extreme.

During interview, the manager who was interviewing me walked out twice to take a personal call. They tried to bombard me with technical data about the job that you couldnt learn unless youve worked in that nitch industry. I asked questions and showed them I knew similar – more... systems, but they talked about people they wish they could hire, and the hiring manager even told me he would probably be gone within the year due to stress and I would replace him.

They stressed a very low key environment, not attracting attention, as if it was cloak dagger stuff they were doing.

They told me it was an informal interview once I got there, both were wearing jeans and polos, and told me they were assesing the candidates based on there knowledge and whether who they THINK will be the most responsible and who they THINK they will get along with. Not based off of credentials, drive, or education. Then that person would go onto the "Formal Interview" with there boss.

Considering they bothed walked out multiple times while i was trying to obtain information, got upset because i didnt ask enough technical questions based off systems i didnt know, and told me they were hiring based off what they thought of candidates instead of education and credentials, I would highly not recommend this company. – less

Working here was fun! Playing games with the kids. The hardest part was putting up with the parents.

Overall great place to work. Fast paced enviroment. The pay was not enough for me.

I wish I had read these reviews prior to accepting my offer; the cost for not was being released after only one week on the assignment. The only reason given was my attire, specifically no tie! Worse is the apathetic response from recruiter and manager toward the significant cost to me by leaving another assignment because of assurances of the long – more... term security in this one. All of the other reviewers are spot on with respect to exceptionally poor treatment, poor project mgmt skills, and an organization structure in conflict with itself...all with bright happy smiles. – less

CHS hospitals are in need of overhaul. Highly political work enviorment. Fear controled. Gender bias. Very poor managment. Unhappy staff except for few who ruled the department. Patient care suffered as a result. Do not bring your loved ones here for care.

I worked out outpatient and in patient at Gateway Regional medical Hospital.

They lay off contractors like no man's business. Beware!!! But their pay rates are good...

Great company to improve your skillset, and grow as a professional.

I originally started at one facility with a great doctor. The company lost their NP at another office 30 min away and told me I would temporarly travel. I worked 2 1/2 days at my original office and then at the other office. Being spread between both places made it hard to be in the right office at the right time for my patients. Some patients traveled – more... to see me regardless of the office. – less

If you keep to your self, it's an ok place to work. Illness can cause job termination.

Patient focused environment
Studer partners
Strong Leadership team
Focused on Safety and Patient Satisfaction

Very good to there employees, great for advancement, Coworkers are the best, just a little stressful.
