Large concentration of some of the most devilish, classist, insecure and hateful people you will ever have the displeasure of meeting. I have occasional flashbacks of how HORRIBLE the people who work at this university truly are. To be honest, the word that comes to mind when I think about the "behind-the-scenes" working environment is SATANIC. People constantly stabbing you in the back. Deans, professors and staff members who will do ANYTHING to belittle you just to make themselves feel a little bigger. I've never been just flagrantly LIED on so much as when I worked here.
That said, I learned a heck of a lot working here. It was like "bootcamp," for the worst aspects of the corporate world. I learned how to net, defang and tie a snake in knots by working at Wash U. It was a horrible place; I would never go back. I know a few people who have shared with me that they cried for MONTHS after working here. But it will teach you a lot.
My God. What a snakepit.
