Adminstration does not care about students at all - PhD Graduate Student Boston University Employee Review

Pros

The pay is decent for a graduate program.

Cons

Admins don't care about students, we are just another financial line item for them. They will get rid of you with no second thought (our cohort lost 6 students and the admins did not care). Buildings are old, leaky, too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer, countless facilities/maintence requests have not fixed this, if youre even lucky enough to have a permanent office space. Professors will dump you whenever they please, with little to no actual reasoning -- whatever your side of the story is, you will be ignored and dismissed.

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.
