Pros

I absolutely love everyone in my office and thoroughly enjoy being around the people I work with. Benefits are standard for higher education...which means they're pretty much great.

Cons

The pay really is terrible, especially in comparison to other universities in the area. My same job in another school offers approximately 35% more in salary. My specific job can get pretty monotonous, and management is occasionally very annoying to deal with.

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.
