      Good Benefits, But That Is Where The Good Stops

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Excellent health insurance benefits and a decent number of holidays. These are state benefits though, and this is the only pro for working at VT.

      Cons

      They only seem to care about faculty and their compensation, and staff are second class citizens. They absolutely will not pay a fair market value. The HR department is there to only protect the university, and not the employee, so don't even think about raising a complaint about something. Management is seemingly selected by the "screw up to move up" method, and is a total good old boys club, so good luck succeeding if you don't participate in that. The employee rating system is a joke as well, but is changing for 2023. From the sounds of it, it will not be a good change either.
