Pros

Pay scale is fair, and city is a good location.

Cons

Diversity of applicants creates huge disparities in preparedness for college. This also makes for difficult class function, and there does not appear to be strong disciplinary support for instructors. Class size and support is poor.

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.
