Boston University

Is this your company?

I work as a Resident Assistant at Boston University. The job pays for my room/board, and meal plan. It's a great place! - Resident Assistant Boston University Employee Review

Pros

Working as an RA is an excellent opportunity. Because the hiring process is so strict, you are only working with people who share your values. Teamwork is very important in this job, but it's fun because your co-workers are all high quality employees.

Cons

It can be difficult to toe the line between being a friend to your residents, and being the enforcer of rules. But the training that you receive at the beginning is so comprehensive that I didn't have any trouble

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.
