Pros

Worked there as a volunteer. Worked on the ICU floor which was 5th i think. I was working with the nurses and patients. Followed orders, called the surgery department, assisted the patients family members. preparing for a childs education, or for their retirement years. Management opportunities are available for qualified representatives. In addition to our unparalleled training and mentor programs, First Investors proudly offers its people advancement opportunities, and compensation and incentives that are second to none.

Cons

No downsides. Everything was good. Develop team to solve day-to-day operational issues and reach short & long term performance goals • Communicate cross-functionally to assist team to solve operational issues • Motivate team members to achieve plan goals • Organize and facilitate work team meetings • Solve daily operational issues • Administer policies and practices

Pros

Great team to work with under the ECMO group at Emory. Fantastic boss and lots of opportunities within the team to advance your skills and gain a ton of experience.

Cons

Normal ECMO specialist ratios (1-2 ECMO patients: 1 ECMO specialist) is not the norm here. Typically have 3-6 patients on ECMO each shift

Pros

It's okay... I don't know how other ORs are run for comparison. Pay is alright. $47/hr and on-call is $8/hr. Have over 3 years of experience. Most people are pretty friendly. The friendly ones are starting to leave now, unfortunately.

Cons

Management doesn't fix problems. They won't respond to emails. Often don't have specimen printers, patient moving boards, etc. Tons of extra timeouts are kind of inconvenient (pre-op, pre-anesthesia, and pre-incision). Parking and commute are hassles. You can't park next to the hospital unless you are a doctor or advanced practitioner. At least 30min per day wasted on bus to and from hospital from parking tower I'm assigned. So much traffic to get to and from work. On call is very tiring. They frequently assign 7pm-7am overnight call right after 12hr shifts and then want you to stay because night shift didn't show up. Call requirement is at least 48hrs per month. Most OR rooms are super messy and badly stocked. ...Seems like more and more bad people are getting promoted to management positions. My immediate manager is good. The ones over her are not that great.
