      Pros

      Very progressive. GWU rewards hard work Tons of autonomy 35k salary + a free apartment, which is the equivilent to probably 25k/year in the Foggy Bottom area

      Cons

      A lot of privileged students who are demanding. With those students come overbearing parents. Because of the many high profile parents, decisions are sometimes made above me that overturn my decision because said parent donates money to the university

      Pros

      it's convenient to Metro and to McDonalds and Starbucks.

      Cons

      They are very stingy with raises for staff. Higher-ups get good money and good raises. The insurance is expensive. You don't get much vacation and they don't want you to take it. i have missed a number of graduations and weddings since I started here. Managers are concerned with how they look to their managers and not with how their staff is doing. Managers encourage staff to watch other staff and report back to them. The vice president of my division loves to talk about how much he cares about us and what good jobs we do. He cares only about his resume and his next job.

      Pros

      The staff is wonderful, friendly, and flexible and I would highly recommend the office as a great on campus job

      Cons

      Only available to FWS students and if someone is interested in higher education administration the program is more focused on politics, political management then university life.
