Pros

Good benefits, time off, training.

Cons

Micro-management from hell!! You are treated like a 10 year old, they watch your every move. Instead of treating you like an adult who they have entrusted with a gun to enforce the law you are treated like a toddler with scissors. Management is cocky and always looking for a reason to write you up. They don't want you to do police work they only want you to be seen and hand out hugs and lollipops.

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.
