Teaching Fellow - Graduate Teaching Fellow Boston University Employee Review

Pros

I was lucky to get a teaching fellowship which included full tuition reimbursement, plus a generous stipend, which meant a free master's degree. It was a fantastic experience and I got to put two years of teaching on my resume, which is great

Cons

All my negative experiences are specific to my particular department and one or two specific people, so it's not fair to put that on BU. Although one thing that does drive me nuts about BU (and many large private universities like it) is the allocation of funds for ridiculous athletic facilities instead of academic purposes.

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.
