[quote=Anonymous]I love working at Georgetown and agree with the Main Campus poster about the strong sense of community.

There are pros and cons to any work environment. GU is good place for people to gain experience in various areas. It can be a stepping stone / learning experience to later move into government or commercial industries. It can also lead to a long term career in higher education. If you are interested in a career in higher ed or non-profit, this is a very good move. Universities prefer to hire people with university experience so this job could help your resume down the line.

The various schools and even departments have their own cultures but overall I would characterize GU as very family friendly with a good work-life balance. You should discuss teleworking or flex scheduling with your potential department head but the practice is very common here.

The tuition benefits can apply to you and your dependents. Many people do not realize that tuition benefits are also given for schools outside of GU. The amount is a lower % but it is still a great benefit. The health benefits are good. You do pay for parking but much less than if you worked downtown. For the past few years, GU has given everyone the week between Christmas and New Year's off. [/quote]
