Pros

Diverse student body. Lots going on. Benefits are excellent.

Cons

Lots of investment in the wrong places. Instead of hiring needed faculty, there are now lots of adjuncts and temporary lectures. Wouldn't send my children here.

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.
