Pros

The people who work here are amazing

Cons

Low pay Most folks are severely overworked Limited support from administration and leadership Very limited upward mobility Poor inclusion Poor organizational structure and little centralization The university has seen a mass exodus of long-term employees in the last two years because it is not a conducive or appreciative organization anymore.

Pros

Co-workers are nice while they remain here

Cons

- Management - knowledge of what each role entails is lacking, yet micro-managing is strong - Insufficient pay - as people leave, work is given to current employees without compensation to reflect heavier workload

Pros

- Wonderful university community & univ-wide opportunities like Georgetown Women's Alliance for staff networking - Strong benefits, especially retirement, and the TAP benefit if you can make use of it

Cons

- Promotions and raises are essentially "not a thing," so you will quickly be underpaid compared to what you could receive from other employers - Senior leadership is overwhelmingly white and male, and all levels of employees feel the impact of this
