Pros

My experience at GFU was that there was a lot of unethical behavior that would not occur at other institutions, even secular ones. People in leadership and management roles are allowed to treat their employees in very poor and ungodly fashion. It is well known that the administration is aware of these issues and yet does very little about it. When "whistle-blowers" bring this up to either HR or administration, they are treated as insubordinate complainers. It seems that that senior management doesn't want to be bothered with middle manager's incompetencies and unethical behavior and so hide behind the "Christian" attitude of offering grace and forgiveness. However, this same attitude is not extended to the lower level employees.

Cons

As an older man, I can say that GFU is one of the most sexist environments I have ever worked in. Women have been routinely let go for offenses that men are able to get away with. Women are expected to be quiet, demure, and cheerfully pleasant at all times. Being conventional leaders and outspoken is not tolerated from women. I have observed many good employees quit because they were so discouraged and disillusioned by their experience of working there. I have even observed people leave the faith because of how they were treated by the Christian leadership of GFU.
