20 vacation days/year PLUS Intersession (the week between Christmas & New Years) AND 11 add'l holidays (not including Christmas/New Years) Generous sick time Outstanding retirement package, vests immediately Salary is competitive with corporate environments 2-3% raise each year is typical There are tons of job openings to choose from if you need a change, but want to stay at BU Laidback environment Low stress 35 hour workweek Access to music school practice rooms Orientation includes 2 free tickets to the Huntington Theatre and BU sports games Right on the green line

Cons

Nearly an hour T ride from North Station, for those who take the train in Culture is different from department to department and manager to manager People tend to stay forever, so the atmosphere can start to feel a little stale

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.
