Business outlook
Pros
The benefits at a University such as BU are great. Many vacation and sick days, and for full-time permanent employees, the tuition reimbursement can't be beat. Unfortunately, these perks are also why so many hang on even when the job isn't the best fit or they're unhappy.
Cons
Majority of peers in the IT environment are overworked, overwhelmed and burnt out. It is not a highly engaged workplace and the culture is one that is low energy and depressing. Staff are not valued as highly as they should be. There are often not enough resources to do the work and management expects too much. Many employees have a self protective attitude or "cya" as they fear failure and management.
