Georgetown University

Is this your company?

Some great people, lots of laudable goals - both of which suffer at the hands of management either mediocre or hostile. - Program Coordinator Georgetown University Employee Review

Pros

Generally good benefits, decent compensation for many positions. Always a lot going on. Being on campus has a lot of perks - fun events, free food, an energetic environment. Shuttles to metro stations not bad (though they run infrequently).

Cons

Your experience depends almost entirely on your supervisor, and many of them - especially middle management - are horrendous. Financial constraints on the University make pay raises few and far between and there are no clear pathways for career advancement for most positions.

Pros

Job security throughout budget cuts happening in the public health industry currently. Plenty of PTO and holiday paid leave.

Cons

Constant threats by upper management to "write us up/disciplinary action" for anything. Director is really unfair/disrespectful/condescending to our supervisor and so that trickles down to data coordinators. For example currently there is a threat that we will be "written up" if we do not meet all the competing deadlines. Ive seen sooo people many come and go in this sector over the past 3 years its insane. Its alot of data to manually enter and one must be organized /driven and on top of your game but it gets borring if your not passionate about the cancer trials you are working on.
