Good place to get experience

Pros

-Diverse community from the DC and Nova areas -Interesting work, if you like working with the areas of science, politics and religion -incredibly sharp yet humble people to work with -hard-working people -lots of nice events to attend, and a lot of holiday time off, and also -pretty good benefits, but it depends on your position -almost impossible to get fired: you really have to try hard to get canned from this place, which is both good and bad in certain situations

Cons

-Georgetown lowballs almost everyone they try to hire. In a city as overpriced as DC/Nova, this is absolutely insulting, especially considering how expensive their tuition is -DC/Nova is overpriced -Some gossip and office drama in certain departments, but overall, not too bad -Parking is so expensive that it is impossible for most employees to drive, so you are forced to take the metro and/or buses -some of the students come from extremely wealthy families and are unpleasant to be around if you're a normal person
