Pros

Great co-workers and staff in other departments, benefits, get to put emory on a resume

Cons

Emory used to be a great place to work in my experiences there. Every department is different however there has been a recent shift in priorities. It’s very obvious in meetings, huddles, reviews, etc. that money is the singular driving factor of any decisions about operations. My department is run like a factory with no regard for employee safety, burn out or accuracy. The best way to describe how disconnected it has become from patient care is this: decisions are being made about patient care and health by people who push financial agendas and budgets with little to no inclusion of actual medicine or science. High turn over, large divide between upper management and the rest of the hospital, low pay in comparison to other hospitals, very slow moving with decision making or changes, constantly short staffed.

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.
