Pros

Great infrastructure, a university with a research reputation on the up, very accommodating to your schedule. The lab I worked in was very diverse but everyone got along well, no nasty politics of any sort, so the work environment is very professional but very friendly as well.

Cons

Richmond can be a little dangerous, although very little crime happens around the medical campus. But if you're on the other campus, it can get a little strange at time.

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.
