Pros

Great benefits Great work/life balance (i.e. lots of paid time off) Lots of internal training opportunities and professional development Tons of resources to utilize Lots of events, lively culture

Cons

Very low vertical mobility Laden with office politics Processes are extremely slow and it's nearly impossible to make a change in your department due to an overabundance of policy and regulation Resources are stretched Feels like the school is pushing for growth when they're beyond capacity

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.
