Great work/life balance - Marketing and Communications Specialist Boston University Employee Review

Pros

Boston University has great work/life balance. All jobs, from what I can tell, are 9-5 and they do not want you working past 5pm, unless it's for an event or something specific.

Cons

It's very difficult to move up within the organization at different offices. It's almost impossible to get a title change. While they do offer cost of living increases each year, it's very minimal.

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.
