Pros

really good benefits, flexible leave

Cons

terrible salary, and refuse to adhere to industry standards or even give any raises other than 3% COL state raise. No way for lab workers to have a meaningful career development and refuse to have any way to do this (no climb the ladder system or anything similar

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.
