Pros

If you work in the medical center there is room for growth and opportunity. If you have a strong finance back ground there are plenty of opportunities for you to get employment. The reason I gave this job such a high rating is because I believe all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord. I know being here at Georgetown has prepared me for my next level of personal growth and promotion. I thank God for the opportunity and the lesson.

Cons

I had a very interesting experience at Georgetown. I've noticed that it's not about what you know or how hard you are willing to work; but more so, about who you know and who you are friends with. However; I can say I learned a lot. This experience has really taught me about individuals and the way they interact with one another. I hope someone else gains the opportunity to come and work at Georgetown and leave it better than it was. I know there are positive people who can lead and turn Georgetown Medical Center around. I hate that the Medical center had such a negative reputation. I did everything I could to leave Georgetown better than I found it. I feel like I have gained all there is for me to gain, and it is now time for me to progress to a better situation.
