Pros

An urban higher ed institution that has a strong research culture and an excellent teaching service. VCU status has recently been classified as having very high research activity by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education.

Cons

The campus is dispersed as it is located in downtown Richmond. The campus is divided into two subcampuses: the MCV campus for medical and health science schools and the Monroe Park campus for the remaining fields of study. Parking is very difficult.

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.
