Pros
Great health care if you are a patient
Cons
>>CULTURE: Highly-political. Gossip is poisoning. No growth, no career opportunities. Employees say: "I quit years ago, just my body keeps showing up" & 97% of employees say in the latest engagement survey that Emory Healthcare doesn't even provide the tools needed to do the job, which is definitely true in Marketing. I was told by my manager: "Your level of enthusiasm is at 10 but our team works at 3, bring your enthusiasm down to 3" >>AMENITIES: Amenities at Decatur are inhumane: no privacy in bathrooms, always broken elevators, major construction going on, 6 building evacuations in 6 months. >>HOSTILITY & ABUSE: The company has a dark secret - many employees are regularly forced to take FMLA due to abuse they endure at work from their managers. When my colleague first shared with me what was happening in our department, I was shocked. Then, I experienced it myself: one person at a time is targeted with very well-thought hostility plan that causes you to either be admitted to the hospital, for which you get written up, or you're forced to take FMLA but your projects are eliminated that same day and there's no work to come back to. HR is aware of it all and is silent. That's why Emory Healthcare recently launched a training for employees and management: how to be civil at work... Many employees I know either quit due to hostile work environment or went on FMLA to cope with abuse. Emory has FSAP - faculty staff assistance program, which is dedicated to working with abused employees. I endured hostility, went on FMLA, and my manager requested my colleagues to remove the records of my work. He then falsified personal employment file after I resigned due to hostile work environment, with falsified date and reason. >>FORCED FMLA: I found out from many of my Emory colleagues how much hostility and abuse they have endured. I've learned how many were forced on FMLA. When faced with abuse and reported to HR, I was also offered immediate FMLA. I had to go on FMLA to work with a therapist after I've witnessed my colleagues abused and experienced hostility myself. The day I went on FMLA, my manager sent an email to my colleagues requesting to remove my profile from our project management software, which removes all records of you work instantly. >>ADVICE TO YOU: If your physical health is valuable to you as well as your mental stability, this is not a place for you. Also, If you are ambitious and care about doing work that matters, you'll be punished for it at Emory Healthcare.
