Too Big To Succeed - Instructor Boston University Employee Review

Pros

Generally decent facilities and fantastic location just down Comm Ave from Kenmore Square.

Cons

The massive size of the university means that it has an extraordinarily corporate culture - some departments are fantastic, and others are an absolute mess. More importantly, it quite often feels like the organization exists more to make and spend money than to actually educate.

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.
