Pros
Emory University has a good reputation and aspires to be admired in education, research, and humanitarian efforts. Employees can feel that they are a part of something that is positive. The University President's agenda/intention is outstanding and the new Leadership joining Emory will hopefully have a tremendous impact on ALL of the University's staff members.
Cons
The workload is often crushing and the compensation is not market competitive. Many exempt and non-exempt employees are overworked and underpaid which does not leave much room for an employee to feel balanced or valued. Emory throws a lot of resources and hoopla around Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, work-life balance, and employee wellness, it's more hype than reality. The longer you stay employed at Emory, the more behind you are towards having the ability to afford your life in retirement. Compensation matters... We cannot live off of "goodwill" alone...
