Pros

Lots of independence and one on one training with professors

Cons

Very little structure or guidance, and if you don't love doing the research for it's own sake, it can be rough.

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.
