Pros

Boston university is fantastic place to hone skills. Grow in a junior area quickly especially if you want to use it as a launching pad into the corporate world

Cons

Massive budgetary miss mangement over decades has led to the issues that we now at the university. You can blame this administration if you want but when it comes down to it allowing hundreds of outings a years across departments with out any recourse is not going to cut it. Have accountability. You shouldn't need to lay people off as a result.

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.
