Okay

Events and Marketing Team Member (Current Employee) - Decatur, GA - September 25, 2023

Low pay but not a lot of work. can get unorganized. mostly students work there and some of the events can be fun. Swim is least fun, but being a ball chaser is easier.

Underpaid

Associate Research Scientist (Current Employee) - Atlanta, GA - September 12, 2023

You are getting underpaid and they do not offer the opportunity for development. Your supervisor can make sure that you do not get salary increase. It is good for a little bit but it does not offer career advancement

Working around positive people

Sterile Processing Technician (Current Employee) - Atlanta, GA - September 2, 2023

Some days are good and positive. I have learned how you clean and sanitize instruments use on patients during surgery. The hardest is when your coworkers decide not to work and make it harder for the others. The most enjoyable thing is being educated and, Emory having a trainee class preparing those that what to become certified have the opportunity to. They will pay for my testing when I'm ready to take the test.

Pros

Being thankful for the opportunity of taking me in as an employee

Cons

Being not recognized for your great work

Great benefits, low pay

Lead Teacher (Former Employee) - Decatur, GA - September 1, 2023

The pay is pretty low but the benefits are good. Management is a little unorganized and there’s a bit of a disconnect between staff and administrators

OK place to work

Postdoctoral Fellow (Current Employee) - Atlanta, GA - August 17, 2023

Emory University is a good place to work. Lots of benefits and great people. But sometimes poorly managed. Things we need for research break often, things are not kept up well. They also don't give enough thought to postdocs. We don't get enough office space or break rooms. Little things like that become very frustrating.

Supportive Workplace

Research Coordinator I (Current Employee) - Atlanta, GA - July 31, 2023

I love being an Emory employee. My supervisors have always been supportive, understanding, and accommodating of my goals. The pay for most positions is less than the industry average but the benefits and healthy work environment have been worth that sacrifice so far.

Good Benefits and inclusive environment.

Office Manager (Former Employee) - Atlanta, GA - July 2, 2023

The work environment varies from department to department. My department had unresolved conflict and poor communication. Those in charge were reluctant to be accountable for things that they are responsible for

Stressful, soulless, good benefits and pay.

Director (Former Employee) - Atlanta, GA - June 28, 2023

What is the best part of working at the company?Excellent health insurance with low co-pays, low deductibles, tons of great providers, and few restrictions on what's covered. What is the most stressful part about working at the company?Emory is an elite university that gets most of its acclaim by being ranked in the Top 25 among other U.S. universities. But it's right on the cusp of falling out of the Top 25. That situation creates a work climate that's so desperate and high-pressure that most employees find it to be an intolerable workplace. Long-time employees especially feel this as Emory passes over candidates with years and years of experience for outsiders who may provide some lift to already stellar rankings. Students feel the pressure too and report a lack of campus spirt, an unhealthy academic climate, and widespread mental health problems. Beyond brooding ambition and tons of cash, Emory doesn't have much of any culture for its employees or students. On the other hand, it pays far better than other Atlanta universities, and it's great for your resume. What is the work environment and culture like at the company?Desperate, high-pressure, aloof. What is a typical day like for you at the company?Lots of emails, catering to donor and alumni demands, responding to outside pressures, inching forward on strategies that aren't that innovative.

Important job, but clients often misunderstand

Writing Consultant (Former Employee) - Atlanta, GA - June 11, 2023

Clients frequently misunderstand the Writing Center's focus + mission statement, which leads to undesirable sessions with clients who are angry and unsatisfied. The Writing Center is not a proofreading service. It does not take a prescriptive approach. However, many clients come to the Center wanting for their work to be edited, rewritten by the consultant, or told what they "need" to do. Clients do not usually understand the collaborative aspect. The job is good, but the clients make the job hard.

Demeaning and dismissive.

Data Coordinator (Former Employee) - Fulton County, GA - May 12, 2023

What is the best part of working at the company?The salary I made at the time.What is the most stressful part about working at the company?The supreme lack of training after being assured training would be provided and the negative attitudes from the supervisors.What is the work environment and culture like at the company?Very negative and and oftentimes dismissive. Held back one of my checks and didn't receive my tax forms until 3 days before the deadline.What is a typical day like for you at the company?I struggled with anxiety because of how I was being treated EVERY day. While there were many positive aspects for cancer patients, as an employee I felt disrespected.

Easy going

Graduate Research Assistant (Former Employee) - Atlanta, GA - May 5, 2023
