Pros

Great health benefits, great PTO, employment is generally stable for most term faculty. All the general Pros of working for the state. Personally, I find I can achieve good work-life balance.

Cons

Pay is not very competitive in the academic market, existing faculty salaries do not keep up with new, external hires. State raises are small, irregular, and do not keep up with inflation. These are all Cons that are par for the course in state and/or academic jobs.

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.
