      Pros

      It's a prestigious university. Benefits are about average Employer match for 401k is fantastic, but requires you to stay for a long duration.

      Cons

      Pay isn't great. You have to pay for your own parking, which is ~700/yr It's a university, so there is only so much you can move around as far as career growth.

      Pros

      Good environment to bridge multiple paths: Education, Research, Medical Emory provides a lot of resources for employee's, better than average education benefits. Salaries are higher or equivalent to immediate competition.

      Cons

      Paid parking. Over $600/year and this isn't even downtown Atlanta. Now employee's do get free mass transit, and have some park and rides. But just not readily available (not to mention some aren't safe). Emory has become very corporate. Emory has done a lot to provide resources, but Mgt focus continues to push inside the box thinking. Very contrary to other research / education environments. Also very segmented between University and Healthcare - this is strictly an Emory upper leadership issue. Even though Healthcare reports to University in org structure, it is left to run in its own directions (even if contrary to University). Promises had been made to help bring the two together more and simplify our lives, but still waiting. Also, benefits differ from University and Healthcare. It's a pain to transition from one to the other. And each has some better benefits than the other (you would think they would take the best of both and consolidate). Healthcare and medical side are due for a shakeup in leadership. Even though has expanded over the years, they've set some bad standards. At least email is only one system now, beats the heck out of having 3 accounts.
