Great for graduate level education, but not professional growth - Program Manager Boston University Employee Review

Pros

With full-time employment there are benefits, like an almost free education, full benefits and retirement.

Cons

Very little growth opportunities for professionals who do not have a doctorate degree. Very little innovation at the staff level. Very little support and professional development of staff. Many offices have staff who have been here for years, and are not invested in efficiency or high-quality work. Hard to communicate across the Charles River Campus and the Medical Campus. Work-life balance varies depending on the office and supervisors that you have. Systems are disorganized and staff feedback on failing systems is often not heard.
