Pros

Good pay for a part time position for the location. Understands school comes first, but Graduate Assistant positions are few and far between and you are worked to the bone.

Cons

The politics within the departments is crazy. You can fail simply because you ally yourself with the wrong research advisor.

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.
