Good Environment, but PhD Programs are Rough - PhD Student - Stipend Virginia Commonwealth University Employee Review

Really improved my social media skills.

Not a lot of hours available.

They care about the employees. There are multiple efforts to support everyone, it is a welcoming environment, HR is very supportive.

VCU is incredibly bureaucratic and poorly ran. Things move slow, very slow. More slow than normal universities should. It isn't just "oh this is academia, things move slow." It's legitimate poor management across multiple levels of leadership.
