Pros

The people are very dedicated at working toward helping students. Students are the primary reason that many of them are there. They could have taken jobs where there are better opportunities, pay and other things, but these people are there to help the students. Atlanta is also a really nice place to work as it is right in the perfect weather area in the south. The weather is good and the people are generally nice. Atlanta is also really good place to do really interesting things. There are museums, shows and the sports venues. Finally, there are many places to go hiking.

Cons

Georgia tech is not the best place in the world if you want to increase ones profile and advance in one's profession. Georgia Tech is also not the best places for communication. The communication between the different departments at the university is less than mediocre. There is a constant sense that everyone exists in their own little shell without any regard to the other departments. Within the departments everything works well enough, but in between, there is little communication. Many people think that working at the university would be a good way to communicate educators, but the campus is too large for that kind of communication.

Pros

Great Benefits. That was it

Cons

The pay is egregiously bad. My boss would commonly talk about how teachers are underpaid while unaware that teachers actually make more than financial analysts at Georgia Tech. They have also recently instituted a return to work policy that requires all staff to be back on site 5 days a week. This has led to a lot of turnover and hiring has not kept up from what I've seen leading to overworked employees. In my 2.5 years at tech I realized that the vast majority of people are just trying to run out the clock so they can cash their pension in. This leads to very few motivated workers and it is an easy trap to fall into. Little financial incentives to progress. No end of year bonuses, little annual raises if any at all, and no senior analyst roles mean there are few financial incentives to "try". When I started they had analyst levels 1 through 3 but that abolished and everyone was put under the title of analyst. Overall I would not recommend to anyone unless you are a student looking for expirence.
