Pros

Some professors are really good. Depends whom you work with. The quality also depends from the department to department - there are strong ISyE, BioEngineering and Computer Science departments. Other departments might not be funded as well.

Cons

Low salary, Support staff is terrible - administration is focused on making life easy for themselves. Class registration system is a nightmare. Refunds for expenses take months. A lot of travel regulations, for example receipts for dinner/lunch need to be saved, while receipts for taxis are not needed.

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.
