Pros

The name holds weight…..that’s it

Cons

Horrible place to work. They don’t value non-nursing departments at all. If you’re not a nurse or doctor you will be severely overworked and underpaid. You can’t live decently even with a degree because their minimum wage is $15 hourly. They will lowball your pay any chance they get. People only want to work here because of the name. With their low pay , you’re still below the poverty level and there’s so many politics. Sad thing, even the nurses hate it here. They don’t value our security officers enough either. I witnessed them without masks at the beginning of the pandemic when they were the most exposed. When I asked a security officer why they weren’t wearing face masks the officer said “their managers said they don’t want to create fear in the visitors”. A week later one of the officers caught COVID 19 and had to be hospitalized. Emory healthcare isn’t a place I would recommend to anyone. They’re only #1 in the state of Ga because they’re buying everything. It’s a business that doesn’t take your mental health seriously. I knew nurses who were sick in the hospital and were called by management asking when they were coming back to work.

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.
