Pros

Amazing and dedicated colleagues, clinical expertise, great patients, good opportunities for growth depending where you are, interesting educational opportunities

Cons

Winship seems to be run by unstable, ego-obsessed, power-hungry, irrational, temper tantrum-throwing megalomaniacs. The senior leadership (VP and Director Level) never seems to be on the same page. Staff constantly hear rumors of petty fighting, power moves, disrespect, and irrational behavior between leaders, all which trickle down to affect front line staff. People just want to be able to do their jobs and do them well. Senior Leadership seem to require a constant ego-stroking and tip-toeing around explosive personalities. It is a major and significant barrier to positive workplace culture and patient-centered care. Communication during the COVID-19 crisis has been good from Emory Healthcare but fractious, confusing, and frustrating from Winship. During a time when everyone needs support (patients and staff alike), Winship leadership has managed to make their staff feel like second-class citizens who are disposable and dispensable. Staff do not feel heard, cared for, or emotionally prepared to weather the long term storm that will come with COVID-19.

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.
