Pros

Primary employer in Richmond area

Cons

The university is so large that there is no consistency. Policies vary department to department. Promotions are based on who you know not on merit.

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.
