Pros

Friendly staff. Most of the staff hang out together after work.

Cons

If you clock in ONE MINUTE late they write you up. The ER turnover rate is crazy. So they are extremely understaffed. One day there were only 5 nurses in the entire ED one was triage one at the ambo entrance and one nurse to work the Covid section. So that left 2 nurses for the entire department. This hospital is for profit and gives nothing to employees. I would never go back. Stock techs in the ED make more than the techs. There is no parking and the ticket enforcement is walking around all day ticketing and booting cars.

Pros

1) Tuition Remission is nice and adds a lot to the implicit salary. 2) Work-life balance is typically fairly good. Rarely are you pushing more than 45 hours a week. 3) Depending on your supervisor, you may get decent managering responsibilities quickly.

Cons

1) The pay at GW is significantly below market, especially for quantitative researchers. They try to make up for it with tuition remission but at some point, it isn't worth it. 2) The only way to push one's salary up is to switch jobs within GWU. The annual raise is 2.5%. Managers are able to petition HR to raise it higher but I have never heard of anyone receiving more than 5% and promotions are very rare, even among good managers. 3) Not great for quantitative researchers -- managers are typically more qualitative and thus aren't great at supervision. 4) HR and administration is super slow and often times gets in the way of an efficient office.
