Pros

There are great students to work with and for a common goal in higher education. Great colleagues who give 100%; long history and traditions with the college.

Cons

Staff are expected to work 55+ hours per week with unclear goals and no support, changing missions, and poor leadership. The institution has a history of poor stewardship with funds.

Pros

Perhaps it's not a bad place if you need to gain some college-teaching experience for a year or two before applying for more competitive positions.

Cons

Despite my status as a tenured professor, I was laid off in 2015 with a one-year notice. The college terminated over a dozen tenured/tenure-track faculty positions that year due to financial difficulties. This could be done so easily at Georgetown College since the revised Faculty Handbook at that point gave so little job protection even to tenured faculty. If you are serious considering accepting a faculty position at Georgetown College, please do some research first to find out more about the College's track record on this matter. Also, keep in mind that benefits are not good and the faculty salary has remained virtually flat for the last 10+ years. Few students are academically motivated. Many students seem to come to Georgetown to play sports and socialize.
