Pros

Virginia Tech is a fantastic place to work. The people and the atmosphere on a growing college campus make each day a new and exciting challenge. The new administration is very passionate and forward thinking. Both their expansion and multidisciplinary collaboration initiatives will make Virginia Tech an even better place to learn and work. Additionally, the benefits are some of the best in the region.

Cons

As can be expected of working for a state agency, salaries tend to lag behind the industry standard. Also, employees must pay for parking, which is unnecessary given the rural/suburban nature of the Blacksburg Campus.

I'm only a student still, because I'm a GRA

Pros

Virginia Tech is an amazing school located in this amazing college town. Every thing is really cheap and CoED friendly. Lots of opportunities for students to grow professionally.

Cons

4 hours out from Northern Virginia and 5 hours from my home in Maryland. But If you have car you can make the drive home or use the really awesome VT carpool facebook page.
