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

Pay and benefits are good

Cons

Leadership needs significant improvement. Promotions often appear to be based more on personal relationships than on experience, qualifications, or selecting the best candidate for the position. Leadership also fails to adequately address bullying and toxic workplace behavior, allowing it to continue unchecked. As a result, many locations feel disorganized and chaotic due to inconsistent leadership, poor communication, and a lack of accountability.
