Pros

working with people who value education for education's sake

Cons

Zero regard for employee satisfaction. Huge preference for high turnover and working underpaid staff to do multiple jobs and eventually hire unskilled new hires for low pay.

Dedicated staff and faculty. Amazing students.

Bureaucratic system with lots of siloed departments competing for student attention and funds. Staff are second string to faculty in policies and practices.

Pros

90% off any degree if you are full time and have been working there for at least 1 year. Hybrid work mode. Fun people to work with. Good mix of young and seasoned professionals

Cons

Fiscal year ending gets crazy. People leave frequently to other departments within GU. Procedures and policies are different based on which school you work for. Example: Law Center, Medical Center, Main Campus all have their own ways of reporting. No centralized methodology across all units.
