Pros

Used to be the very best in the Atlanta area. people wanted to work here

Cons

I have been here since 1980's. It is such a shell of what greatness it had. The quality of the nurses is so poor that I have not come as a patient since 2013 and will continue to pay more out of pocket to go elsewhere. Pretty sad comment coming from a registered nurse.

Pros

Friendly coworkers, working for an organization with a nationally recognized name that you can put on your resume and basically get a job anywhere, moderately easy to move up in your position, a few friendly supervisors, great for people who are going back to school or working a second job.

Cons

Department too big to really form bonds with coworkers unless you've been there for years, horrible scheduling, no work/life balance (you will have no life other than school and work or just work), some pharmacists and nurses act as though they are God (you will be punished for sticking up for yourself. it's best to just remain cordial with everyone no matter how much you all don't get along), some supervisors are insensitive.

Leader in the Atlanta Healthcare market - always room for improvement

Pros

I felt like employees at the manager - staff level really looked out for each other. Strong focus on patients and families. EHC involves their patient family advocates in key decisions - from hiring executives to process improvement initiatives. When you work at Emory Healthcare, you feel like you are working for the best healthcare organization in Atlanta. My immediate supervisor was phenomenal - a true mentor, caring, innovative, assertive, supportive, engaged in shared decision making, and understood what "battles to choose." I worked in multiple departments and always had a fun work environment. I liked going to work!

Cons

Expectedly bureaucratic - It takes a long time to implement new ideas with or without an executive sponsor; organization is not nimble. EHC does not live up to their emphasis on fair and just culture; they are great at this roughly 40% of the time and miss 60% of the time. Egos at the senior leadership level are difficult to navigate; there is a fair amount of brinksmanship and finger pointing at this level which can be damaging to the organization. This also does not set a good example for junior level leaders.
