Pros

A good stepping stone institution to open up doors to work elsewhere.

Cons

HR is there to protect the University not the employee, policies are written as "guidelines" so in the event they are violated it probably won't matter. There's a reason for the very low retention rate of staff and faculty of color, despite entry level DEI trainings, microaggressions remain rampant across all levels of leadership. But there is no shame in using a brown person as a poster-child to showcase their "Commitment" to diversity and Inclusion. VT is a conservative institution and "freedom of speech" will be used to protect hate speech against is own students and employees.
