Pros

GMU has impressive teleworking opportunities and flexible scheduling. I've also noticed that most supervisors genuinely encourage employees to set goals that allow them to expand their role and grow within a position.

Cons

Since it's a university, hours are not always 9a-5p and often late hours or weekend hours may be required, depending on the nature of the position.

Pros

Great benefits for administrative faculty and classified staff; good vacation packages; paid holidays between Christmas and New Years; retirement contributions; free classes for people who work there; reasonable recreation center memberships for self and family; easily accessible by public transportation

Cons

Pay is low on average for Northern Virginia area; experienced tremendous growth over last decade or so and lacking infrastucture to support that growth; massive senior leadership change over the past two years which has led to a lot of questions about what to expect next
