Pros

Depending on the department you work in, in my case it was a very small part in Creative Services, BU's offices seem to be very organized. There seems to be a person for every task - that I have seen. They had the right resources and the manpower to do the work.

Cons

There are so many people work for BU, and you work to serve an institution so it's easy to feel like a small person within a huge organization. Moreover, you have to look out for yourself to get further in whatever field you are in. I did not learn many new things, but I simultaneously practiced my existing skills - I had the chance to learn some things on my own for the job.

Pros

Great benefits! Lots of sick time holidays off. and summers are very laid back. Wish I could have stayed longer as I saw my time there as a great career opportunity. But toxicity, harassment and layoffs made me rethink staying

Cons

Management is incredibly toxic. Even after union grievances, sexual harassment claims and even a warning from the dean, managers continue to abuse staff. Incredibly sad seeing as Boston University rather lay off good employees than hold anyone from management accountable for their actions.
