Is this your company?

nice place to work in a lot of ways, but pay is pathetic and they will exploit you as a staff member - Research Assistant Georgetown University Employee Review

Pros

Nice work atmosphere, good co-workers (at least my fellow hourly employees and staff), flexibility, decent benefits

Cons

low pay, no real pay raises, no career opportunities or ways to advance to a higher position, don't seem to value loyal employees (been working there 10 years(!) and never really have gotten a pay raise besides when they transitioned me from temp to part time), exploitative to the staff (had me working 40 hours as a temp with absolutely no benefits or PTO, will keep slowly adding to your work load without actually compensating you in any way for the extra work)

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.
