The dept. I work in is relatively small and a great place--I've heard the opposite is true in some departments. - Anonymous employee Virginia Tech Employee Review

Pros

Lots of training opportunities and tuition reimbursement if you are pursing an advanced degree. The campus is beautiful and Blacksburg is a wonderful town.

Cons

Lower pay than the private sector. Job security that was once a given is no longer applicable. University is moving toward a business model that in no way benefits the employee or consumer (student).
