Emory University Employer Reviews

A typical day includes some aspects of human resources, finance, budgeting, expense review and approval, projections, payroll, etc. It is never a dull day and I welcome the next challenge my faculty and staff face. I work with a diverse group of people and I'm always learning something new.

Typical work day included completion of clinical data elements, search and pull of patient specimen for board and sponsored research. Moderate troubleshooting of lab equipment, powerpoint and poster presentation preparation, and cross-discipline collaboration for in silico study of low grade gliomas.

Hardest part of the job was work politics in mid-management – more... that was unrelated to sponsored research or customer/researcher request.

Most enjoyable part of the job was the work itself and infinite opportunities to advance as either medical professional, basic research scientist, or informatician. Best of job, learned an overview of pathology as a medical specialty and the role of individual healthcare providers (ie. radiologists, oncologist, clinicians, pathologists) in the process of oncology care. – less

Manage residency program operational activities and ensures residency program goals and objectives are accomplished. Participates with the program director in planning and development of residency program academic and clinical requirements to ensure accreditation standards are maintained and met. Provide management support to residency program personnel – more... (residents and faculty) by interpreting organizational and departmental policies, standards, operational procedures and guidelines. Manage all expense reports for residents and program faculty. Process H1B visa's for international residents entering the residency program. Manage all resident data in New Innovation Database software. Monitor resident schedules to insure compliance to ACGME work hours rules by residents. Residency program liaison with the GME office and various other agencies, organizations and groups. Prepare a variety of documentation associated with the residency program operations; distributes documentation or retains records as appropriate. – less

Definitely a who you know employer. Large organization that offers great benefits if you take advantage of them. Salary could be much better for the work load.

Great Place to learn and grow. Fun people and lots of opportunities.

I accepted this job on the premise that I would have the opportunity to work at my own pace, and with minimal supervision. The exact opposite has been the case. Policies are written to diminish the quality of life and job security is constantly being threatened. This, however, is only the case for the third shift, where huge amounts of work of carried – more... over from first and second shift. Requesting a transfer to an earlier shift was met with resistance and a year long waiting period..despite the urgency. – less

good school. good research facility. Ok culture. poor health insurance. low pay.

Emory University offers an excellent environment to work and the labs are equipped with state of art facilities and equipments. It is a great place to have research training and further your career.

A fun and loving environment. Being in the healthcare field to help others was an enjoyment.

Work/Life balance is great. Sometimes there's a lot of work...but management in my particular department understands that everything can't be done in one day. They're extremely nice and accommodating. Very lenient with vaca/sick leave whenever you want/need to take it or if you're in school. However, the salary sucks if you're not a manager. I literally – more... live paycheck to paycheck and it's never enough. Whoever said it's easy to move around once you get to Emory lied. You get a job in a department and you're stuck wherever you are... you can forget getting hired somewhere else within Emory unless it is the current department you're already in. They don't care about internal candidates... they look elsewhere before they look inside. Ppl who hire for jobs in other departments are extremely unprofessional. They don't return calls or emails. It takes months for you to ever hear back from anyone. Parking sucks. $55 a month for parking and you can barely find anywhere to park. ..oh...did I mention how bad the salary is? Basically living in poverty right now. – less

Data entry and summarization of 600+ patients tested each month.
HIV education and testing.

They allowed me to work longer days so I wouldn't miss time when I or my son had a doctor's appt. or school function. They were very good with their training and career advancement when it was applicable.

Emory truly values research, continuing education and diversity which is reflected by the employees and students.

Emory University is an outstanding place to work. At the broad level, the university is managed very well. The same goes for the department that I work in: Human Genetics. Everyone from the professors to the students are hardworking, ethical and intelligent people. The most enjoyable part of my job is the feeling that our research is really doing a – more... great deal to improve human health as evidenced by the ongoing clinical trials of a drug that our lab helped develop. – less

Great company. Great management. Co workers great. Everyday is different.

Private university with no opportunity to move up.
Challenge was finding challenges to solve.

Difficult classes combined with a nice college cultural experience.

A typical day at work was going into the job and prepping for the subline and seeing all the students coming in there telling me about their day and their classes.

everyweek someone is hired and someone is fired. there's never an air of stability and no one is safe from the top down...

Loved working the night shift as of cleaning grounds, pressure washing building, cleaning bath rooms. before the park open up by 9 a.m. Co- Workers was very laid back an we all agrued to work am get the job done
