Pros
I felt like employees at the manager - staff level really looked out for each other. Strong focus on patients and families. EHC involves their patient family advocates in key decisions - from hiring executives to process improvement initiatives. When you work at Emory Healthcare, you feel like you are working for the best healthcare organization in Atlanta. My immediate supervisor was phenomenal - a true mentor, caring, innovative, assertive, supportive, engaged in shared decision making, and understood what "battles to choose." I worked in multiple departments and always had a fun work environment. I liked going to work!
Cons
Expectedly bureaucratic - It takes a long time to implement new ideas with or without an executive sponsor; organization is not nimble. EHC does not live up to their emphasis on fair and just culture; they are great at this roughly 40% of the time and miss 60% of the time. Egos at the senior leadership level are difficult to navigate; there is a fair amount of brinksmanship and finger pointing at this level which can be damaging to the organization. This also does not set a good example for junior level leaders.
