Good health and vacation and sick leave benefits

Lack of training opportunities for non- MD and non-PhD staff. HR responds poorly to complaints of abuse of employees by supervisors. Pay is not commiserate with job expectations. Internal hiring is slow and inefficient.

ridiculously underpaid

Pros

great benefits, great work culture (dependent completely on your supervisor), flexibility (also dependent on your supervisor)

Cons

outdated facilities, very few women or POC in leadership roles in my department, pay is an absolute joke, staff are undervalued compared to faculty and students, internal departments (like HR, grants offices, etc) are very slow and often have gaps in coverage that lead to nothing getting done, 6 weeks parental leave is an improvement on the previous leave of 3 weeks, but there is no reason Emory cannot do better on this. Some of the buildings desperately need updating and are not prioritized because they are not patient-facing.

Pros

The winter break is amazing, benefits is okay, and great job security.

Cons

you have to pay for parking, many departments don't get to work from home due to the president wanting everyone on site. Environment is somewhat toxic.
