Pros

Great benefits working in higher education. Very flexible.

Cons

BU severely undervalues their employees and underpays employees across the board when comparing similar positions at other Boston colleges/universities. Many people I know, myself included, need to work 1 or more extra side jobs just to be able to afford rent and groceries.

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.
