      Pros

      Good work/life balance. Lots of opportunities to move around and learn from work in different departments. Overall, pros probably depend a lot on which department you work in.

      Cons

      Huge barriers to change. Senior leadership seems very devoted to image, but policies and initiatives lack depth or impact.

      A Good place to start

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Tuition benefits are excellent, salary is average, centrally located in Boston, most people are friendly and willing to help a new employee, opportunity to transfer between departments, benefits are ok as long as you are fine with using the BU medical and dental centers.

      Cons

      Bureaucracy is sometimes difficult to get through, very high turnover, many (not all) departments do not actively promote from within, professional development opportunities are limited, HR department is difficult to work with as the individual case load in that office is huge.
