George Washington University Employer Reviews

I think working for the George Washington University is great if you are just out of college and don't have a family to support. You can learn a great deal (using 95% tuition benefit, your colleagues, free on-the-job courses). The hardest part of the job is if you are stuck in a role with little freedom to learn or meet people who work in similar positions – more... in other companies. It is also hard not to get paid as much as peers in private companies or federal government. – less

I provided assistance to seven Financial Consultants in areas of client account management. I also developed client database and an internal expense reporting process. I managed logistics for all meetings and special activities.

Interaction with students and professors was very helpful in developing skills such as analyzing and documenting data, updating information and coordinated meetings

A typical day of work includes sharing an office with fellow research assistants and students, working on data analysis, checking emails, ordering lab supplies, working with PBMC's, running and maintaining the Luminex machine, and working on manuscripts. Our department's office staff is very helpful with pretty much everything. The only hard part of – more... the job is getting paid through a grant which means your job is usually no longer than 2yrs. The enjoyable part is the flexible schedule and the friendly work environment. – less

This is a nice place to work at. I just need to get more growth in other career areas. I had some wonderful co-workers. Not enough staff. Seeing and knowning that the patients are getting well and by them going home they feel better.
Nice staff members and we needed a Union so that we would have someone on the outside that we could go to and be able – more... to vent.
A typical day at work could be good if there would be enough staff. Management was good depends who you under. – less

very well organized and put together. Patients are in good hands there and will receive the very best care and treatment from GWU hospital. If your feeling sick then surely thats the place to be. co workers are exceptional. And i have learned so much and developed a big heart for the sick. Management is great and keep the business sailing.

The most enjoyable part of the job is to provide and educate patient care.

It took almost a month for them to get it together and give me an offer. I later found out I was to clock in and out even though I am on call which is very odd, 9 hour days no paid lunch and sub par medical insurance which is surprising given there affiliation with GW hospital.

The employee rules seem to change based on how Management feels that day. – more... Seriously if you use GWU instead of GW you are reprimanded, god forbid you forget to put a cover page on a fax, you will have your boss lament over this and it will be noted and brought up in a performance review. There are way too many people that do nothing here.

I would certainly quit if the job market was not so bad right now.
Oh and don't expect more than a 4% raise and never a bonus so negotiate accordingly. – less

This is also a nice place to work. They need to improve on management.

Enjoyed planning and assisting with implementations of consortium programs.

A typical day at George Washington was taking care of my patient by bathing, feeding, and getting them ready for physical therapy. I ha learned from the patients and my co-workers that the to become a successful PCT is to be able to multi task and to be professional at all times. The hardest part of of job is staying up at night when i do a twelve hour – more... shift, and the most enjoyable side is the people that i work and interact with everyday. – less

pretty good place to work. lots of teamwork and very nice people to work with

A very nice place to work at. When it gets busy everybody on staff works together to pull through and assit with the patience flow.

I work in the emergency department where every day is a coin flip. It can run smooth as polished ice or become chaotic as the eye of a stom. Working at this facility I've Iearned how to manage my time and what it truly means to multitask. I've gained insight on how the infrastructure truly works, also what it means to mentor, train and supervise individuals. – more... The hardest part of the job is interceding on a situation with an upset patient. You have to find the medium to let them know the current situation, while still conveying how much we do can about their health and well being. The most enjoyable is knowing that you've truly helped someone. – less

Generally speaking, my task is to grade students' homework, exam and quiz. What's more, I also need to answer questions of students. I really enjoy to be both a student and a teacher! I learned how to communicate with students through this job.

For IA, I have to present the solutions for some questions to student. There was one question even I was not much clear about it. But the student asked. So, I looked up related books as well as internet and finally, found the solutions. In the meanwhile, not only my math skills were improved, but also the presentation skills.
