Overall great environment with good benefits, but lower pay - Anonymous employee Boston University Employee Review

Pros

BU is a flexible, somewhat relaxed work environment with good benefits. It has a good reputation and a clear mission.

Cons

There is no established process for pay raises. Promotions are rare unless you apply for a new position. Employee turnover is high. BU is a non-profit, so the pay is less than at a comparable company. The finances are not always as efficiently managed as they could be, probably because the organization is not focused on profit.

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.
