Pros

You can find dedicated, respectful colleagues working against the system to make patients lives better. In Atlanta and Georgia, you can still impress other employers that you worked for Emory.

Cons

Agree with others on low pay, poor management (MD and non MD). Patients dont get quality care because of leadership/management, and docs sometimes scour for resources to help patients like in third world country where all money goes to chairs and managers for their BMWs. Emory also spends more money on PR than quality- pays PR firms to suppress/remove bad internet reviews from search results, and add positive reviews you read here. One former director of communication wrote an op-ed on how poorly patients are actually treated and she and the matter were completely silenced by Emory PR and their media connections within a day. Recently lost a malpractice suit when a young man died in the sleep lab supervised by cheap contractor - jury awarded patient's family $13 million. I have never worked for a company that spends more money presenting a fake image than fixing the real problems.

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.
