Pros

Great science opportunities, great healthcare plans

Cons

Postdocs do not have a classification (meaning we are not staff or faculty), which means we qualify for nothing.

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.
