- 2.0Sep 20, 2023Anonymous EmployeeCurrent Employee, more than 1 year
Pros
Health insurance isn't too expensive
Cons
Impossible to get another job at VCU if you already work here as they require 3 contacts including your most recent supervisor. So if you work in an office that does not have a lot of staff members, they will all know you are looking for another job due to this rule. Pay is well below market rate especially for coordinator positions. PTO is grouped together so there is no separate sick leave, bereavement leave does not exist. My office is so short-staffed I can't take off work to utilize the only benefit worth working here for.
