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.
