If the job is with Georgia Tech Professional Education....RUN!

Business Outlook

Pros

On the whole, Georgia Tech is a good organization to work for. GT offers relatively good benefits, professional development opportunities, and a well-respected brand within the community. Life can be very difference from department to department, however.

Cons

The Georgia Tech Professional Education department was easily the most dysfunctional organizations I have ever been a part of. Whether it was the Dean that was never around and just assumed all was well, the Executive Leadership Team that couldn't get along and outwardly bickered and showed disdain for each other, the directors within the organization that constantly were waging turf battles, power struggles, and openly slandering their colleagues, the belittling of long-time employees that contributed a great deal, or an overall culture of misery, negativity, distrust, cliques, and lack of team effort, every step of the way proved to be a bad experience with GTPE.
