Pros

Get to work at an infamous university.

Cons

Terrible pay. Will hire you on as a temp with intent to hire, then keep pushing back your hire date. Went through this for a year. Additionally, even before pandemic, GWU is in massive amounts of debt.

Pros

This used to be a great university to work for until the new administration decided they wanted to be a STEM school instead of a leader in liberal arts education.

Cons

The new president and his administration have no respect for the faculty, staff or students. They push their own agenda and hire their cronies for big bucks while firing staff right and left. They are using the pandemic to make drastic changes that were already shot down by the faculty. They spent millions on a culture initiative with Disney and it failed miserably.
