Vantaggi
Patients often tell me they should have started out with an Emory doctor and they say, "When all else fails - go to Emory Healthcare!" This is a huge organization that helps patients get well. Emory is part of the foundation of Atlanta with a rich history and a world renowned reputation. I have heard this from so many patients and this is one of the great reasons to work here. I mean some of the most brilliant people in the world work here...how cool is that! I love the people who work along-side me...most of them anyway. There are tons of opportunities to grow professionally and so many paths one can take. Its a great place to work.
Svantaggi
When I compare Emory Healthcare to other healthcare jobs i've had - in an academic medical setting (comparing apples to apples), Emory is one of the best. The only con I can mention is the culture of a relatively small handful of staff. Most staff are here for the right reason; they love to help and serve others. Some are here only for a paycheck and it shows in the way they interact with both patients and staff. The pay, well its a non-profit hospital and there are better paying jobs out there but its nothing to complain about. I make a decent living.
