Vantaggi

The job provided stability and some flexibility in regard to working hours. The benefits were great with lots of vacation hours and sick leave.

Svantaggi

The management style is lacking. The directors work very few hours and the entry level are expected to be at work from 8 am to 10 pm at times. My actual manager worked 30 hours a week for 95k and I worked 80 hours for 50k. There are no incentives nor rewards for good work. It seems that it was very much a "good-ole" boy system in regards to management--you have to be friends with someone to get the good tasks or responsibilities. The department was lax on safety guidelines and much was overlooked and ignored. My manager/boss had no clue what was truly going on nor how to teach nor manage. He made numerous mistakes in his lectures with regard to content because he didn't bother to update slides. My manager also did not understand innovation and had a 1950s feels for how things should be done. Cooperative learning, PLTL, inquiry, etc. was strictly forbidden because the students might not like it--despite the literature showing otherwise. This was the worst place I ever worked, and I went on to an Ivy League school where I am standing out as a top employee. I was merely the trash on the Georgia Tech.

Vantaggi

Great Benefits. That was it

Svantaggi

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.
