Christian Community Health Center

Work life balance does not exist. In most cases, staff has to work without a lunch.

The pay is meager and on occasion the agency did not pay for benefits. So surprise! When you go to the doctors office/ emergency you discover you don’t have insurance.

No such thing as Job security. Hard-working dedicated employees have been terminated over minor infractions. Management expects loyalty from staff but will not give staff any consideration when there is a misstep. 

Management is a mix of family and long-time buddies. They look out for each other. There was a period (and it could still be happening now) where the agency was losing funding. This is a management responsibility however, none of them were fired.

At every staff meeting the CEO recognizes the same six to eight people on his management as being super workers who can accomplish everything. They take the credit for the hard work and dedication of the staff. He never recognizes staff who stayed late, came in early, solved a problem or accomplished a goal inspite of having limited resources and/or support. The CEO says if he had a choice between a loyal person or a competent person. He would chose the loyal person. As a result he has surrounded himself with loyal lapdogs.

Many staff have returned to Christian Community Health Center because they were ill-prepared for what the rest of the world is doing. Upon their return, they are eventually fired.

Training opportunities go to the favored few (mostly management). Staff is left to figure things out on their own.

Christian Community Health Center is a tremendous company growing rapidly and innovating quickly. With fast growth comes growing pains and CCHC has experienced growing pains in the time I have been here. The company has expanded its locations and is dedicated to improving the health disparities and challenges for the community. 

As soon as COVID-19 was getting serious, CCHC implemented a mandatory work-from-home policy for some and an integrated system for staff that provided direct services. Our health and safety came first, and I felt so lucky our company had the opportunity to make that decision. The company is doing a good job of handling the current variants of COVID and pivoting where necessary in order to provide a safe environment for staff and patients.

Lastly, there is no perfect company but the CEO is a great guy and has employees' best of intentions at heart. Although I must admit most times the leadership staff does not adopt these ways which can cause a blurred line between the companies values and team member's best interests. Overall, you get back what you put into the company. If you are prepared to invest in the clientele the company will invest in you as a team member.



If you are a professional or have other options, do not associate yourself with CCHC. The culture is one of extreme unprofessionalism in the form of (secret) and rampant nepotism (many examples of secretly hiring family, without skills, accountability, or ambition for the work), lack of trust, and penalizing culture - throughout the organization, even at the leadership level. There is extremely high turnaround at sr level (6 fired in the past year without cause). No concern across organization for employee’s safety amidst Covid, even when someone tests positive; more concerned with productivity.  Distrusting culture where not allowed to work from home during covid, except 1 week. In some locations staff are underpaid (under minimum wage) and working in unsafe conditions with leaking roofs, fire code violations, live open wires hanging from ceilings, and rooms without lighting. Staff safety is not a priority. Annual raises at ALL levels are based on likability, rather than objective performance structure /merit. Medical benefits are HIGH and salaries low. Anger outbursts, demeaning staff, and yelling in meetings is typical at high levels of leadership. People often seen crying and demeaned at leadership levels, which is acceptable. Not a collaborative or trusting work culture. An embarrassment.

The culture is toxic and does not function as a faith-based or nonprofit entity, and it is revenue-driven. There is constant concern about the decline in patients. The benefits are expensive, and there is limited paid time off—only 9 holidays and 10 hours of accrued PTO per month. Multiple people have told me they had to take unpaid time off.  Work-life balance is not respected, and you will have to wait three months before you can use your time off. Employees are not valued or respected, and the organization does not even provide basic resources to employees. Many people are buying the things they need to work out of their own pockets.  Most staff members feel overwhelmed and are unfriendly due to their workloads.

There is a high turnover rate in the organization, making it difficult to know who you will be working with. People are in constant fear that they will lose their jobs. Additionally, employees are directed by senior leadership to post positive reviews, so be cautious when considering feedback from current employees. I saw this list of negative employee reviews and ignored it. Do not make my mistake. 


Christian Community Health Center was challenging due to a number of systemic issues that ultimately made the work environment toxic and unsustainable. One of the most difficult aspects was the pervasive lack of communication across departments and leadership levels, which led to confusion, inefficiencies, and a constant sense of instability.
High turnover became the norm, often leaving teams understaffed and overextended, without adequate support or continuity. Unfortunately, this was compounded by inconsistent and often poor leadership that failed to foster a culture of accountability or transparency. Decisions were frequently made behind closed doors, with little regard for how they impacted staff or the community we served.
I also witnessed — and in some cases, was affected by — behavior I would characterize as unethical or underhanded. Whether it was in how personnel matters were handled, or in how information was selectively shared or withheld, it became clear that integrity was not always prioritized. These experiences eroded my trust in the organization and made it difficult to align with its stated mission and values.

This is by far one of my worst work experiences ever - none of the expectations set at my hiring were met - management can be described as a bunch of chickens running around with there heads cut off - aimless and with out sense of direction, professionalism, knowledge or experience - there is no communication between sites and departments - is like each department is a gang fighting each other on who takes responsibility for daily task - rudeness runs across the board - being that you  have to work with other  departments to do your tasks, trying to get one of those departments to work with you, is like trying to tell a C.O. you need they help (pointless) - everybody has an attitude and are more ratchet then the patients - this place had me mentally depressed just  knowing I worked there - this place will end your professional aspirations - $$$ the pay is BS minimum wage - no raises no place for advancement no HR dept. - and The benefits are so high they would take 40% of your measly azz check - THIS IS THE WORST WORKPLACE

A typical day at Chrisitian Community Health Center, a Non-for-Profit Agency, was to provide administrative assistance to the corporate office staff.  I also provided assistance to the four clinics, the shelter and the housing department, which were all apart of the services provided.
My skills have been enhanced mainly due to the various jobs I have performed during my time with the agency.  There was a major restructuring which allowed me to gain more experience as listed on my resume.
The hardest part of this job was watching fellow staff members leave due to the lack of funding to support their jobs as well as reducing the services to the communities.  
However, being able to say I was there to indirectly give back to the community was rewarding for me.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Faith based organization and mission is to served underserved communities with health care

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Unclear job expectations, and moving targets within a job description, unbalance teams, unclear expectations, lack of leadership support

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
stressful, on edge, and unclear what the end goals are or how to get there

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Meetings and work toward meeting key performance goals and helping supervisors create action plans to meet their key performance indicators.

Leadership does not trust or appreciate employees. They are passive aggressive with very minimal communication. Staff that disagrees with leadership (even in a productive way) is shown the door. The culture is so toxic, and leadership hides behind it even though they are the problem. There is no opportunity for a healthy disagreement of perspectives, as leadership has favorites and there is clear nepotism. 

Overall good place to work. Work/Life balance = good paid time off policy and holiday pay. Compensation and benefits = compensation the same as any FQHC and benefits are good they pay 65% of employee premiums. Job security = is good, they receive federal funding in addition to state funding so the agency is pretty secure financially but they are limited to pay increases because of funding. Advancement is possible with additional certifications/degrees. Management and employees are mission focused and enjoy working community health. Job culture = everyone tries to assist and work together as a team.
