Pros

- It gave me something to laugh and shake my head at for 2 years and 4 months. (Trying to be positive here)

Cons

- Leadership oppresses and abuses employees as if they're not equal humans. - VT does not respect or value experience. - VT promotes toxic individuals in to leadership. - VT enables bullying. - VT could not provide someone with my experience with enough work to keep me busy. - VT Leadership is not trustworthy and does not stand by their words. I was told I would receive a salary increase after my 1 year probation, only took the job because of this promise, and the salary increase never happened. Instead, the individual I submitted complaints to the director about for that entire year received a promotion to assistant director. - During my first week of employment my immediate supervisor told me that he, "regretted hiring me." He refused to collaborate with me for the rest of my employment. - This same immediate supervisor made inappropriate comments about my body. - This same immediate supervisor would not collaborate with the team and would demand things go their way if someone offered a different approach. - This same immediate supervisor was promoted to assistant director after all of the above issues had already been brought to the attention of the director. - Software development team with no documented standards operating on a out-dated codebase built without reading the framework's documentation. I rebuilt this codebase in two weeks, the director instructed the team to use it, and the team refused. - It was not uncommon to hear, “this is how it’s done at Virginia Tech,” when offering new solutions and alternative approaches. - Leadership can't be trusted - on any level.
