Educational workplace
HRIS Document Imaging Technician (Current Employee), Washington, DC –
Pros: great benefits
Cons: no room for advancements
I receive various requests daily to include: reports, wages, records for a client, or employment verifications. I have enough work-load to keep myself busy during a typical work day. I also learn a great deal just from assisting in different projects and creating queries for better information and document management.

Flexible work schedule
Executive Administrative Director (Former Employee), Washington, DC –
Pros: access by public transportation
Cons: aging workforce with limiting skillsets
Although Howard like most academic institutions does not pay competitively, it make up for it with a flexible schedule, which is helpful to families having young children. The university closes when the weather makes travel to work dangerous. Although it is steeped in tradition, some of the traditions need to be retired for the advancement of the institution.

Research institution based in Washington D.C.
Researcher (Former Employee), Washington DC –
As a researcher, I found the archives for my research into African American executive producers whom have a working relationship with both networks and executive producers to be vast.
While the information is vast and expansive, the brick and mortar could be updated.
