Pros

Good benefits. It's nice to have the long winter break for Chriatmas to New Years. There's a culture that is always striving to be bigger, better, faster. They like to be in the leading edge on technology.

Cons

You may have a long walk from where you park to where you work. Pay not as much as the private sector. Since the organization is large, change can be slow.

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.
