Pros
Pay was decent for a tech job in DC with a university, but no real "pros" beyond that.
Cons
The biggest problem GWU faces is top level executives and most colleges' management don't know what they want to be, thus creating a silo'd atmosphere with little to no collaboration and heavy doses of institutional insecurity. The real world, every day effects of this are that mid and lower level employees are constantly under scrutiny and being asked to do overtime work (without pay) that is far outside of their duties. Turnover is extremely high for a university. Blackmail, rampant insults and lawsuits were the norm during my time with GWU. Never before had I worked for an organization that was this dysfunctional. Truly a disappointment that such a historical place can't get even the basics right.
