Pros

The students are great and the people are incredibly intelligent and motivated.

Cons

- Very poorly run - Poor leadership - Very low morale within the employee community - Poor pay Georgetown attracts a very high level of worker and person, but these people don't seem to stay as they get frustrated by a lack of change, poor compensation, and (at least for women) a network of good old boys who often don't want to see women rise to the top.

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.
