Pros

Great work/life balance. Infrequent micro-management. The company wants results and, as long as they get them, you're left alone to do your job.

Cons

Variable pay/bonuses are not as advertised. The company did not make budget this year but still made a trainload of money. They're not paying bonuses. It's supposedly the 6th or 7th best year in company history, but no variable comp. If you're thinking about coming here do not let them put more than 10% of your comp on the bonus system in the negotiations. They'll try to sell you on how great and fair the bonus program is. Get everything you can in the salary because they're not fair with variable comp. A lot of long-term employees are taking a major pay cut this year for no good reason.

Pros

My time at CHS as a contractor was a great experience overall. The team was very welcoming, knowledgeable, and easy to collaborate with. I appreciated how organized the environment was and how much emphasis was placed on best practices and security standards. Even as a contractor, I felt included in team discussions and had the opportunity to work on meaningful projects that helped me grow technically and professionally.

Cons

Unfortunately, my contract ended earlier than expected due to company-wide restructuring related to global business conditions. Aside from that, there weren’t many negatives — communication and leadership were strong throughout my time there.

Pros

Benefits and there are some great coworkers who make work fun.

Cons

Top down management Don’t value employees as anything more than numbers Unclear direction Uncertainty in job security Consistently shifting priorities without connection to what employees actually do or struggle with. No opportunities for career advancement or growth in the industry.
