Pros

Inclusive environment; great benefits (5 hrs or annual leave AND 4 hrs of sick leave every pay period); employees respect each other. Boss is very understanding.

Cons

Low pay (hey but this is public sector, so it's almost expected). Things happen really slowly; lack of accountability from some staff members with the state worker mentality. Getting more research focused and chasing after the dollars. Expectations sometimes ambiguous.

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.
