      Awful university. An even worse employer.

      Pros

      none. There is nothing positive about this place. Toxic and terrible.

      Cons

      Underpaid, awful "campus" where you constantly get alerts about muggings, stabbings, shootings, pedestrians being run over. They won't even allow you to park in the lots VCU owns that sit empty every day because they want to charge employees $850 for a parking pass. So you're left to use street parking if you can find it. Then city of Richmond parking enforcement will absolutely give you ludicrous and unwarranted tickets, because most people don't have time to fight it, so they just pay. This place talks about diversity and equity and holistic well-being, but it's all fodder. Resources (like counseling) are impossible to utilize. STAY FAR AWAY

      Pros

      State benefits, Cary Street Gym was nice.

      Cons

      Low pay, bad leadership. There are some pockets that are an exception, but they are few and far between.
