Pros

You get the opportunity to try a lot of new things

Cons

Lack of leadership, getting promoted or transferred is like pulling teeth, morale is horrible and supervisors seem to be oblivious to it, and work/life balance would be great if you could actually take advantage of it.

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.
