Pros

GW Cultural diversity has improved, but still needs to be reflected in senior leadership. GW staff need to realize that our work supports our students success and treat them as young adults and not as incompetent children.

Cons

Professional development is more for senior management & not mid-level non-managers staff. The resources for non-managers are limited & if they're provided, an staff employee is limited to diversification of skills sets and training for self improvements. There isn't a consistent on-boarding process across divisions.

Pros

Tuition benefits at GW, retirement matching up to 10%, starting annual leave of 3 weeks and up to 5 weeks. Pays well for a University.

Cons

Slow to change and innovate. Not very agile. Often there are power struggles between business units that reduce efficiency for no reason. There are silos that are tough to break down.
