Good jumping off point - Research Assistant Virginia Commonwealth University Employee Review

Great benefits and work life balance. Enjoy alot of the people I work with.

Lower pay. But makes up for it in benefits.

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.
