Pros

There are lots of great people doing amazing things at Georgetown. You will never be bored here.

Cons

As is probably the case at most academic institutions, staff are second fiddle to faculty. This includes a standard policy of giving staff lower % raises than faculty each year. Depending on the school/department, staff may not be valued at the level they should be and this can be frustrating. Ask around to see how satisfied staff wherever you are considering working. If the feedback you get is positive, you will probably love working at Georgetown.

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.
