Pros

Nothing. Emory only a good place to work if you are high income earners: Emory is good place to work if you are: Doctor, Radiologist, Physician assistant, Professor, Research Scientist, senior business,accounting and administrative position or any other administrative position making more that 80K/year

Cons

Nurses are not allowed to take sick leave on sick call, upto 1-4 day emergency sick call absent need to cover by their vacation time off. you loose your vacation time off if you are absent from work due to sick. They only allow sick leave on FMLA with the document proof over sick leave greater than 5 days in practice. Manager in the different unit/department doesn't follow the company sick leave policy or any other company guideline. Sick leave policy differ by the department/unit or the discretion of the manager on the different unit. Company guideline is only on paper not on practice. Nurses at Emory is underpaid but at the same time company push you so much and make you work so hard to improve their matrix. Emory only care about the money and their profit they don't care about the employee. Emory has Known History of Discrimination against Jews student at the Emory dental school. Discrimination still exit against employee . No equal respect to all employee in practice, equal respect only exist on their paper. Human Resource and benefit department staff hardly pick up call or response to the message about employee concern. You can see lots of immigrant people working on low paid job like research specialist, post doctoral position in H1B in the research labs. You can also find immigrant people in IT position but when it comes to the business, accounting and administrative position and those Business, accounting and administrative department you can count the number of immigrant people working on your finger, Only very few immigrant people there. If you are immigrant and applied on Business, finance, accounting and administrative related position your chance of getting interview call is zero. If you look the diversity of employee population as a whole in the company you can find the good diversity but if you look the diversity by the each department or unit you will be shocked. If you are nurse, you work hard but get paid less and Nurse doesn't deserve the sick leave on emergency sick call at Emory. If nurse get sick and ask for sick leave they loose the vacation time off but not eligible to get the sick leave for occasional sick call. Emory healthcare insurance premium is keep rising but coverage is keep decreasing over the year. I used to pay $692/ month for Aetna POS plan for family coverage but now with the other new company I work I only pay $382/ month for same coverage.Emory healthcare insurance premium is almost double for the family then other competitive private company . All 3 Nursing managers/supervisor/charge nurse at the Emory Orthopedic and Spine Center Decatur are not easy to work with. Most of the Nurse tech there are terrible and they make any RN job miserable. Nurse tech start complaining if they have to work what they suppose to do as part of their every day duty. I don't recommend any nurse to apply job there.

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.
