Pros

BU has an amazing benefits package including 4 weeks paid vaca with a 5th for intersession along with almost every holiday paid. Tuition remission is a phenominal perk and has ad's up to $8K to your total benefits package. Sick days accrue very quickly at over 1.5 a month and the overal ambiance of the CRC campus is especially pleseant. Managment is usually very attentive and is willing to throw resources at a problem.

Cons

Instituional change comes slow and is very political.

Pros

It is on the T. The people are nice. Management is approachable.

Cons

The work is boring. They keep people that cannot do the job well. And expect the others to catch their mistakes.
