Too much work and demand for pay at the Pre-Health Advising Office of Emory University
Pros
Team members were congenial enough if not exclusive in their treatment toward me. I was a temporary employee, and on several occassions they slipped out of the office together so that the program coordinator wasn't part of their lunches. I've heard for salaried persons that the tuition reimbursement and 401K matching is quite high -- 12-13%?
Cons
Salary -- I asked about working at Emory and found that the only way to make more money is by going to a different job title. There's not too much more pay promotion even staying for several years. Program Coordinators don't seem to make much. I was shocked as a FT temporary employee to find that Emory's temporary pay of $20/hr is the actual salary rate. I found that although the role said it was not administrative -- it was highly administrative and became a catch-all position for Emory's Pre-Health office. While the other team members are assistant directors -- mostly doing meetings. You are the one administrating tasks, checking 2-3 email inboxes, using their CRM to schedule events. This is a high pressure role. There's administration, budgeting, liasoning with students/student parents/random people who call because they don't understand Pre-Health Advising office role. I honestly thinking learning the role and having to pivot to changing timelines was quite stressful when students would constantly email/call about certain products that were important to them. Work is work but I'm truly glad that I am transitioning out of this role.
