Pros
The only pro I can give is all the different programs you can learn to use and can use to move forward in your career (if they choose not to ruin your career)
Cons
Everything else. Abusive supervisors, HR that does not respect confidentiality when you report said supervisors. GMU touts themselves as being the "most diverse" university in Virginia, yet is an incredibly racist institution. A professor in the law school made a tweet about Latinos.. was reported to the school, and to no surprise, nothing was done about it and he is still employed. My own supervisor was disgustingly abusive, racist, incompetent and useless.. they were reported to HR (on multiple occasions) and instead of them leaving, it was me who had to go. HR never offered to give me an exit interview and swept my complaints under the rug. Just working here almost ruined my career, all because I spoke up for the injustices I had to endure. DO NOT WORK HERE, DO NOT THINK ABOUT BECOMING A STUDENT HERE. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU.
