      Pros

      -VCU offers a vast network of employees with different expertise, so you feel that you can talk to different people and bounce around ideas about your professional interests and goals -It's been my experience to have great co-workers who are generally sharp and down to earth -There's lots of young talent which fosters a sense of rapid growth and change -The institution engages with the community in various ways, which contributes to a good work culture

      Cons

      -I've found that promotions/upward mobility are not well integrated into the human resources structure -There are many part time workers, limited to working 29 hours per week on average per year, which can be disincentivizing

      Pros

      FT employees can take 6 credits per semester for free. The benefits are good and we get almost two weeks off for Christmas. I have a schedule that is somewhat flexible. Nice people. Raises are small and contingent upon state congress.

      Cons

      Can be a lot of red tape to get anything done and you will never find a parking spot closer than 6 blocks.

      This art & design school is a hidden gem in the Middle East (associated with home campus in USA). The school is well funded and growing each year. The country is developing at the speed of light - rare for universities now days. Plus, for faculty it offers: - Generous benefit package - Supportive environment - Wonderful students - Unlimited opportunities for growth

      Cons

      Very hot in the summer (Middle East) Confusing governmental regulations and bureaucracy Terrible driving habits - dangerous drivers Poor treatment of low-skilled laborers
