Pros

Great benefits for all staff. 403(b) plan matches 9% for 2% employee contribution. Great location in suburban Atlanta. Great place to work.

Cons

Difficult to find negatives, although traffic can be tough at peak commuting times. There are limited roads into and out of the area so there can be a bottleneck effect.

Pros

The work environment at Emory is friendly, and working in higher education often affords more flexibility. Emory offers very attractive benefits, including a courtesy scholarship if you want to take classes or enter a part-time degree program while you work. There are also a number of short courses, especially for career and skill development, that are offered through Learning Services. The Faculty and Staff Assistance program that offers a variety of useful support programs, even counseling, for free. Emory is place with a solid reputation for excellence, which also makes it a great place to work!

Cons

The downside of working in academics anywhere is that the compensation is lower (compared to our counterparts in corporations). Also, Emory is big, so depending on where and who you work for, the "message from the top" doesn't always trickle down to those on the front lines. In other words, it's sometimes difficult to understand the vision.
