Emory Healthcare Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Emory Healthcare

Pros – Emory Healthcare represents a Great Mission with outstanding Values!

Cons – Too many long term employees in leadership who are unwilling to be forward thinking and progressive. Stop doing things because " we have always done it this way" and try new avenues.

Advice to Senior Management – Make room for new and upcoming leadership to promote futuristic ways of doing things. This will improve morale. Also, send "seasoned" leaders to leadership refresher classes so that their knowledge will stay fresh.

Current Employee – been working at Emory Healthcare

Pros – Emory does cutting edge research and this leads to intellectual stimulation that is superior to most hospitals. It is inspirational to be associated with Emory University.

Cons – Benefits at Emory Healthcare are at least as good as other Atlanta hospitals. However there has
been steady erosion of all benefits over the years. Longtime employees have lost the special benefits that attracted them to Emory; leaving many bitter employees. Recent changes due to the economic downturn were mostly well communicated to employees. The exception to this would be the new co-payment and coinsurance with medical coverage. This was very poorly explained at too few meetings that were so crowded there were people sitting on the floor and people turned away. I have spent many vacation days sorting through medical and other benefits, and I had to take vacation time for an in-hospital appointment with the vendor used for retirement investments.

Advice to Senior Management – There should be more opportunities to learn the details of all benefits changes. Many large employers, such as Southern Company, have grandfathered people's benefits so long term employees maintain the benefits they were hired with. This seems only fair to me.
