Don't work here if you are ambitious - Marketing Communications Virginia Commonwealth University Employee Review

Pros

flexible hybrid schedule, decent health benefits, work-life balance ok.

Cons

no room for growth, no established processes or workflows, very disorganized, a distinct lack of ambition or vision across all teams and departments i've worked with, people who try to make changes to improve any of this typically burn out/give up quickly. HR/Management does not care about staff/employees no matter how passionate or how long you've worked there or how invaluable to the team you are, they would rather replace you with a person willing to make less money than give you a raise for your skills/ internal knowledge.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
