Pros

I enjoy working for Georgetown University because the "company" culture is one that truly cares about each employee, the benefits are AMAZING, and the work-life balance is wonderful for working mothers.

Cons

The worst part about working for Georgetown is the terrible commute that most employee face unless you live within walking distance from the campus. The salaries aren't the best, but the benefits make up for it.

Pros

Excellent work environment respectful of people and professionalism. Great benefits with time given for worklife and continuing education. Really smart people working in key areas who engage and appreciate their staff. Collaborative environment where contributions are praised and encouraged.

Cons

Senior administrative staff are 9-5 with little more and no innovation. Abundance of paper-based procedures to get simple things done. Turnover in Senior Executive roles without appropriate succession planning has disjointed some parts of operations.
