Pros

Georgetown has a fantastic community, full of professors, competent staff, and caring people. The main reason to work here is to take advantage of the tuition benefit, which now takes two years of full-time work to earn. If you are not using the tuition benefit, there is no reason to work here. The salary is just too low. Benefits are also outstanding (retirement and health care).

Cons

Pay is low and advancement opportunities, if they materialize, take a long time. Also, the tuition benefit, which is the whole reason to work here, is hard to use because the pay is so low, and graduate tuition is counted as taxable income.

Pros

Job security throughout budget cuts happening in the public health industry currently. Plenty of PTO and holiday paid leave.

Cons

Constant threats by upper management to "write us up/disciplinary action" for anything. Director is really unfair/disrespectful/condescending to our supervisor and so that trickles down to data coordinators. For example currently there is a threat that we will be "written up" if we do not meet all the competing deadlines. Ive seen sooo people many come and go in this sector over the past 3 years its insane. Its alot of data to manually enter and one must be organized /driven and on top of your game but it gets borring if your not passionate about the cancer trials you are working on.
