      Faculty - Faculty Virginia Commonwealth University Employee Review

      Pros

      I have found VCU a great place for faculty professional development and also teaching load. In the last ten years, VCU has made great progress in terms of research, and has recently (as of Jan 2011) been designated as a research one university. Teaching load is still heavy--as an urban research university.

      Cons

      Teaching load can be quite heavy and sometime, student enrolled in the courses are very high. This does not give as much time for individual attention to students as much as the administration says it is doing.

      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.
