Pros
I met some incredible people during my tenure at Georgetown - just not in the administration. As a Hoya alum, I was excited to work for my alma mater - until I wasn't. That only took about 6 months.
Cons
Jesuit values are a joke at Georgetown. It's all lip service. The administration does not care about the staff. The university is drowning in debt from the failed Capitol Campus. The lack of leadership is horrifying. I've worked in higher education for 20 years. Georgetown is all about the bottom line because it's done an abysmal job of fundraising and recruiting true leaders. The low salaries and toxic work environment will continue as long as the current administration is in place. It is not surprising that there is a high rate of turnover among staff and administrators who are good leaders. Someone should FOIA the numerous grievances and lawsuits filed by employees and students. They settle to keep the "brand" intact and do nothing to address the issues raised or work with bad managers to become good managers. This is an issue from the top down.
