Good Place to Work - University Staff Virginia Commonwealth University Employee Review

Pros

The state benefits are great. The flexibility during COVID which has continued to some degree, has made it easier to remain employed and balance home obligations. The pay has improved and is more in line with private industry. The HR system has job families and career paths that should, in theory, lead to career growth.

Cons

The parking situation is terrible - you have to pay or park and walk a long distance. The schools are not connected. You work in one location and don't get to know people in other areas.

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.
