Great, kind place to work

Pros

- Benefits are great - by the end of this year they will have contributed $750 into my KP HSA, free COVID testing, access to all kinds of classes, seminars, resources. - Inclusive and cooperative atmosphere - Georgetown philosophy of "cura personalis", or taking care of the whole person, contributes to the sense that they actually do care about their employees.

Cons

- My boss who's worked here for decades says Georgetown staff salaries have always been low for the area. On my salary, it is impossible to afford a one-bedroom apt.

Pros

Surrounding areas are pretty to walk around.

Cons

Awful and not updated buildings, elitist culture, white supremacy seeping into workplace, awful pay range even for master level positions. I don’t know how it is in other departments but the GUMC is rife with micro aggressions, power hoarding and high egos, and many of what is considered white supremacist characteristics ARE present! No growth mindset. Employee feedback given to higher management and leadership is considered threatening. Lots of folks who are not effective communicators and have zero skills in introspection and accountability. Stay away from this place if you are BIPOC identifying, intellectually people talk about equity and diversity but they’re not translated into practice which creates an extremely toxic culture. You will most likely end up being told to educate your white or white appearing colleagues for their ignorance. Very quick to placate concerns to silence you but doesn’t really solve the issues brought up.

Pros

There's a great sense of accomplishment and pride knowing you're helping to shape the lives of future generations.

Cons

Slightly disconnected from the other schools on campus. Pay could be better.
