Pros

Emory is like most large organizations...... too big with too many processes to go through to get anything done in a timely manner. The benefits are good... tuition assistance and 401k cannot be ignored plus you have a wide selection to some of the best healthcare in the nation. The CEO is great and has vision but need to reign in Saint Joseph's old way of doing things.

Cons

This joint venture placed a lot of drain on Emory because most of the senior management that were kept in place at Saint Joseph's cannot adapt to the Emory model. I predict a large layoff just around the corner. There are lots of career opportunities but is difficult to move around.... both horizontal and vertical. It takes too long to even get responses on job submittals.

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.
