Business Outlook
Pros
The best part about working as a grad student at VCU is that you are assured a solid education in becoming a knowledgeable pharmacologist. Their training programs in demanding, but if you stick with it until the end, you will be an sought after expert in your field.
Cons
As with most professions in life, people within the department can be political to the point of being conniving. Some people are protective of their work and will do what is necessary to ensure that that their research stays funded and progressing. There are no signs of open hostility, but you have to watch out for the subtle ones.
