      I worked at DeKalb Medical full-time

      Pros

      The hospital in general is a great place to work for and the culture is steadily improving.

      Cons

      While the overall culture is positive, the Care Management department needs an entire makeover that hopefully Emory will bring when they acquire Dekalb. Social workers at Dekalb have limited support, limited guidance, no room for growth, and face ethical dilemmas due to bullying tactics by the care management supervisors.

      Advice to Management

      Ensure that all managers are held accountability for their unethical and unfair practices.

      Hard to think of anything. Always jobs available because no one stays very long

      Cons

      Understaffed, bad management, low pay, hostile work environment, no merit increases and very few cost of living increase to pay rate

      Advice to Management

      Outline everyone’s job and role and explain it to everyone. Don’t prioritize clinical staff or all other (i.e. nurses). Hire better middle and lower management.
