Pros

Great tuition remission benefits & lots of ways to apply it. Quality educational programs & faculty. Like anywhere, there are some wonderful people doing great work.

Cons

Pay is not on par with other comparable universities, strong anti-union sentiment among upper level management, very little investment in quality performance planning and review system such that reviews are very ad hoc. Some offices pretty dysfunctional. Administrative culture at BU overly image-driven, more concerned with PR than getting things done well.

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.
