ProsFlexible scheduling, many job opportunites, great benefits, great nurses to work with for the most part.

ConsTechs are not appreciated, overworked, underpaid, harder to transfer as tech than as a nurse, techs are not recognized and celebrated for the hard work we do like the RN's are recognized.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at Emory Healthcare as an intern

Current Employee – been working at Emory Healthcare as an intern for less than a year

ProsAs a process engineer, I've worked a fair amount with MDs on initiatives that they pilot. Healthcare has long been run administratively (and in most other respects) by physicians that only have medical training. However, most MDs seem to view you as a team member that they can learn from. Everyone I've worked with is friendly and supportive with the overall goal of improving the delivery of healthcare

ConsAs is usual with clinically trained personnel, it's difficult to communicate engineering concepts and results that are derived from proven methodologies in other industries because most clinical providers have prevailing biases. General hospital politics between departments are to be expected.

Advice to Senior ManagementThere needs to be more transparency and accountability for mistakes and bottlenecks in the healthcare system. Instead of blaming someone else, attempting to foster teamwork among different departments would be beneficial.

Current Employee – been working at Emory Healthcare full-time for less than a year

ProsThe people you work with. The benifits.

ConsManagement seems to let some know of health care changes you need to know to do your job, and other are not told about changes. So as a team we can not do our jobs to the best that we can do because we were all not informed of the changes.

Current Employee – been working at Emory Healthcare full-time for less than a year

ProsThe benefits were awesome. I enjoyed all of the perks that were given to us. I also loved my co-workers. They made the job manageable.

ConsManagement at the calll center and many of the front desk areas is quite awful. Managers are generally only worried about meeting the numbers, and fail to realize that their staff are human beings who go through things just like they do. Because they are all about the numbers, they forget to check in with their employees to make sure we are okay. Also, I noticed that HR tends to look out for the managers more than they do lower level employees. Don't submit a complaint because rest assure that retaliation will shortly follow. Don't be surprised if you develop anxiety issues and problems related from stress thanks to poor leadership and management. Also, the pay is ridiculously low.

Advice to Senior ManagementYes, numbers are important, but please embrace a more employee-centered approach. Because of poor management, numerous departments are losing their best employees, you know, the employees that achieve those great numbers that managers are so worried about. Show your employees that you actually care about them and are grateful for all of their work. And, when you make a mistake, own up to it. Don't try to blame one of your employees because you are scared of your boss. And lastly, listen to your employees instead of retaliating against them.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Emory Healthcare part-time for more than 10 years

ProsEmory' s foundation is Family centered care. As an employer they not only meet & exceed the patient care needs, but they make the needs and ongoing development of their employees a priority as well. A Great benefits program is also a plus.

ConsManagers can sometimes get so entangled in "meeting the numbers"that they forget/disregard "meeting the needs of your employees"

Advice to Senior ManagementIn striving to achieve certain accreditations, Don't lose focus of the recruiting & retention aspect that motivates employees to continue to give their best

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
