Pros

Flexible hours and ability to work remotely helps work life balance tremendously. Robust benefits package, especially for healthcare and vacation accrual. Collegial environment. Connections to world-class scholars, researchers, and programs.

Cons

I work for a research institute connected to the university so faculty or more forward facing roles may not be as flexible. Typical higher ed bureaucracy but not worse than other universities. Parking on campus is challenging - take the T!

Pros

Great benefits! Lots of sick time holidays off. and summers are very laid back. Wish I could have stayed longer as I saw my time there as a great career opportunity. But toxicity, harassment and layoffs made me rethink staying

Cons

Management is incredibly toxic. Even after union grievances, sexual harassment claims and even a warning from the dean, managers continue to abuse staff. Incredibly sad seeing as Boston University rather lay off good employees than hold anyone from management accountable for their actions.
