Pros

Diverse university, with great faculty. I have seen the university grow, attract outstanding faculty, and basically thrive under the new president. VCU cares about their students and faculty and is doing much better in that regards.

Cons

Salaries are lower than other institutions. Huge inequity between MCV (medical) and Monroe Park campuses. No tuition waiver for families at Monroe, but tuition waiver for MCV. No football team. Lack of performing arts facilities in comparison to other schools.

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.
