Pros

Located in great part of Atlanta. Strong brand locally, nationally and globally.

Cons

Mircomanagement environment. Like to 'fire people for fun' because people have way too much time on their hands and spend time harassing and picking on others during the course of the work day. Department operate in silos and office politics are alive and well. Emory still has that 'good ole boy' mentality operating in management.

Pros

Best employers and incredible, real-world experience that will undoubtedly prepare you for post-grad opportunities in management, leadership development, etc.

Cons

The down side is that when you're going through the recruitment process, you aren't told that Clairmont Campus staff members don't actually get their meals paid for

Pros

Academic environment, relatively light teaching duties and smaller class sizes for Teaching Assistants compared to public colleges.

Cons

Large fraction of undergraduates are pre-med, and as such are more interested in grades than content.
