Community Health Systems

Is this your company?

This org. seeks to continuously enrich the top at the expense of everyone else. Ethically & morally questionable. - Financial Analyst Community Health Systems Employee Review

Pros

You will receive a paycheck at below market salary, half of which will go to the dress code requirements.

Cons

The CEO has been voted 'Nashville's Most Overpaid' several years and shareholders voted down executive salary by a 2:1 margin due poor performance and executive pay which were not aligned for the interest of shareholders. Employees are consistently told there is no money in the budget for a raise yet the top brass continues to rake it in hand over fist. Do not expect to be valued, if you are 'promoted' it will be in title only and you will receive a max of 7% raise even if the new position is one which pays 100% more. The company paid a $100 million dollar fine to the U.S DOJ for fraudulent over-billing practices without admitting fault even though the lawsuit is pretty clear on what went down. The dress code is ridiculous and many employees shop at good will or otherwise they could not afford it. The department infighting is scary and it seems everyone, including bloated middle management, are deathly afraid so they just blame everything on anyone else. No career advancement potential. Nepotism is rampant and the top brass often employees their kin at the org's hospitals as admin. specialists out of grad school so they can slip into a hospital CEO position making six figures. In fact, the internship program exists only for exec's to hire their kin. Also the Company avoids paying taxes on equipment to the 'affiliated' hospitals by purchasing it buy a Cayman island company (Community Insurance Group - CIG) and then leasing it to the facilities. This way they get around state and federal taxes. Patient care is not a priority at this company and our health benefits are some of the worse I've seen despite being a health care firm.
