      Great culture but doesn't extend to staff employees - Department Administrator Georgetown University Employee Review

      Pros

      There is a great culture at GU about learning for the greater good, in order to help others. This culture inspired me to complete my bachelor's degree. The tuition benefit is the best thing about working here.

      Cons

      Of the 3 main groups of people on campus (faculty, students, staff), staff is the least valued. Salaries are low and not competitive. HR doesn't care if jobs are improperly classified in order to keep pay low, and if you bring it up to your manager you'll probably be shot down. Turnover is extremely high, but it's not viewed as problem so as a department admin, you're constantly dealing with new people (who are probably paid more than you) and telling them how to do their job. It's an extremely dysfunctional place to 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.
