Pros

Good insurance, opportunities for education, free tuition. Fun city. Great work environment, stimulating, fun. It's very exciting to live in such a vibrant city.

Cons

I can't think of any specific cons. If you are an admin, it can be frustrating that other people get to do the "cool jobs" and you don't. If that's the case.... take the opportunities to gain more training! Boston con = expensive city!

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.
