Pros

Great health care if you are a patient

Cons

>>CULTURE: Highly-political. Gossip is poisoning. No growth, no career opportunities. Employees say: "I quit years ago, just my body keeps showing up" & 97% of employees say in the latest engagement survey that Emory Healthcare doesn't even provide the tools needed to do the job, which is definitely true in Marketing. I was told by my manager: "Your level of enthusiasm is at 10 but our team works at 3, bring your enthusiasm down to 3" >>AMENITIES: Amenities at Decatur are inhumane: no privacy in bathrooms, always broken elevators, major construction going on, 6 building evacuations in 6 months. >>HOSTILITY & ABUSE: The company has a dark secret - many employees are regularly forced to take FMLA due to abuse they endure at work from their managers. When my colleague first shared with me what was happening in our department, I was shocked. Then, I experienced it myself: one person at a time is targeted with very well-thought hostility plan that causes you to either be admitted to the hospital, for which you get written up, or you're forced to take FMLA but your projects are eliminated that same day and there's no work to come back to. HR is aware of it all and is silent. That's why Emory Healthcare recently launched a training for employees and management: how to be civil at work... Many employees I know either quit due to hostile work environment or went on FMLA to cope with abuse. Emory has FSAP - faculty staff assistance program, which is dedicated to working with abused employees. I endured hostility, went on FMLA, and my manager requested my colleagues to remove the records of my work. He then falsified personal employment file after I resigned due to hostile work environment, with falsified date and reason. >>FORCED FMLA: I found out from many of my Emory colleagues how much hostility and abuse they have endured. I've learned how many were forced on FMLA. When faced with abuse and reported to HR, I was also offered immediate FMLA. I had to go on FMLA to work with a therapist after I've witnessed my colleagues abused and experienced hostility myself. The day I went on FMLA, my manager sent an email to my colleagues requesting to remove my profile from our project management software, which removes all records of you work instantly. >>ADVICE TO YOU: If your physical health is valuable to you as well as your mental stability, this is not a place for you. Also, If you are ambitious and care about doing work that matters, you'll be punished for it at Emory Healthcare.

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.
