      Slow to act; limited growth potential

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Opportunity to work on interesting array of projects across campus community (staff, faculty, & staff). Competitive salary.

      Cons

      Top-heavy, flat organization with limited ability for junior and mid-level staff to move up and grow professionally. Very risk averse culture and heavy institutional inertia means university is often a step behind. Arbitrary review cycles don't allow for best and brightest performers to ascend.

      Pros

      The location is great. The people are professional and experts in their field. If you take advantage of the discounted education, this can be a great place to work.

      Cons

      If you don't have a Ph.D, you end up taking on more administrative duties.

      GW Law -- cares for its employees and is a great mid-career place to work with decent perks.

      Pros

      Great "community" feel to working here. The people are nice (some unnecessary office politics that occasionally get in the way, but nothing major). A very supportive employer that promotes work-life balance, enjoyment in your work, and career development opportunities. Free tuition too is nice. I got my master's for free while working here.

      Cons

      Human Resources at GW is the WORST! They are pretty incompetent. I have switched over some of my benefits to my husband's benefit plan at his company, just to avoid the hassle of dealing with GW HR. Also, for the law school, there are some pretty good positions that pay well for non-law degree professionals. But if you don't have a law degree, you can quickly max out your growth potential within the law school. If you have a J.D. degree, you can move up to higher-level positions if you prove you're worth it. Otherwise, you get to a certain position and that's as high as you're going to go.
