      Overworked, under appreciated

      Pros

      Benefits are great and you learn a lot working in multiple specialties.

      Cons

      management does not value employees and creates more problems than they solve. Verbal abuse from patients because of wait time and even if they are out of hand, and screaming in your face, management will back them every time which makes them feel comfortable in being disrespectful. A lot of techs have come accustomed to not even taking breaks because the schedules are so packed and taking an actual lunch puts them behind later in the day. Overall not what you would expect from a renown institution. Some doctors are very demanding of techs and show little to no appreciation.

      A wonderful place to work

      Pros

      I love working here. I am appreciated and supported in every way. I have worked at other higher ed institutions for more than 35 years. None compare to Emory. My superiors are wonderful. I can say what I think without fear of reprisal. I’ve not had that at other institutions. I was loyal to one institution and was laid off after 20 years. I feel so valued here and truly enjoy my coworkers and students. RSPH is amazing and we are standing tall together during a very difficult time. I am very proud of where I work.

      Cons

      Health Insurance could be better. I had much better health insurance at all of my previous jobs.
