Good heart but understaffed

Program assistant

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Highly educated coworkers who care a lot about their subject matters.

Cons

Massively underfunded programs and underfunded staff. HR system tied to Emory is outdated and confusing. People cannot get hired into their appropriate pay scales because Emory does not count part-time work, internships, and consultancies (all super common and valuable in international fields) as work experience.
