VCUQatar - sinking ship

Anonymous employee

Pros

Great salary, nice perks you would never get in the US, gracious students, work life balance is humane for a university.

Cons

People are leaving in spite of the great salary due to a toxic work environment, mostly due to negligence and mismanagement of upper admin. Not a research environment despite the lip service. Hierarchical structure not found in most US universities, which disempowers faculty/staff. Main campus does not provide support, they just want the money. Quality of school has gone downhill, do not uproot your family to move to Qatar.
