Virginia Commonwealth University

Is this your company?

Nice place to work except for the salary, which is the most negative aspect of working here - and it's a big negative. - Applications Analyst Virginia Commonwealth University Employee Review

Pros

State benefits, telecommute once a week; working with many different technologies and great group of people

Cons

Salary for IT workers is way below market, and the salaries are out of whack for what an individual does. Employees that have been here a long time are making the same or much less than less experienced workers. There are also two types of workers here - the ones who do all of the work and everyone else (the stereotypical state worker).

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.
